Oslo of Florida. :) Not Norway :P
No way to find Mydidae in Northern countries :P
This photo was taken by Sean on 8th June 2006. Maybe Mydas cf. clavatus as Sean think... I agree with Mydas, for the rest I don?t know.

Hi Jorge,
Yes, the species is most probbaly
Mydas clavatus - the most common Mydidae in the eastern USA. There is only one other
Mydas species (
atratus) with a similar orange abdominal tergite 2, but in that species the second abdominal sternite is also orange.
