I remember seeing this little beetle flying around the room yesterday. I didn't think it would end in the hands of a spider the next morning! 🙀

Gardeners told to be watchful as new Japanese beetle containment zone set up in Kamloops, B.C.
Gardeners in the west side of Kamloops, B.C., are being told to watch out for the invasive Japanese beetle, with officials setting up a new containment zone for the species after hundreds of them were found last year.

Swollen-thighed Beetle (Oedemera nobilis) on a Cat's Ear / Melynydd (Hypochaeris radicata). It's only the male with the big thighs.

Enicopus sp. (fam. Melyridae)

[ES] Qué foto más insulsa. No he sabido sacarle partido al bicho peludo este.
La NIA de observation.org no se acerca ni a la familia. Creo que es un Enicopus (E. pilosus, E. ibericus y E. hirtus se parecen mucho), pero sin una clave ni más material que esta foto, no creo que yo lo pueda identificar por simple comparación de fotos. Si alguien es capaz de identificarlo, le estaré agradecido. En los tarsos del primer y tercer par de patas tiene una especie de ganchos que quizá sirvan para identificarlo, pero solo tengo esta foto y no se ven bien.

[EN] What a dull photo! The tiny, hairy beetle is interesting but I didn't make the most of it.
Observation.org's NIA fails to recognize it. I think it belongs to the genus Enicopus (E. pilosus, E. ibericus and E. hirtus are very similar), but without a key and only with this photo, I think I won't be able to identify it. If anyone can tell me what species it is, I'll be grateful. It has a hook-like structure in the tarsi of the first and third pairs of legs, but I don't have a another photo in which they could be seen better.

I caught this wrinkled soldier beetle (Podabrus rugosulus) just as they were popping their elytra to fly off:
