blacknova84 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hello everyone. I decided to go out in the field and work some more on my research project. Since my owl was no where to be found, I decided to dig through some rotten wood that was laying nearby. Any idea what kind of beetle this is ? I found it right where it is. I'm in the Northern panhandle in WV between OH and PA if that helps. .http://s1100.beta.photobucket.com/user/Phil_Carter/media/Beetle1_zpsa902f03c.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 http://s1100.beta.photobucket.com/user/Phil_Carter/media/Beetle2_zps789bca1f.jpg.html?sort=3&o=1 Thanks everyone. I'm glad I'm starting to find live insects. I'm finally tired of winter lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.ojala Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 That's a specie of click beetle, it could be the one in your link though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
