Bill Myers Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I dunno... Maybe some sort of darkling beetle? I really can't see too much detail on the beetle. Can you crop out all that sand and give me a tighter shot of the beetle? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you crop out all that sand and give me a tighter shot of the beetle? Cheers Sorry, it was a quick iPhone shot. Here's a cropped version, but it's still blurry. However, it does look like a type of darkling. I've never seen a shiny metallic blue darkling before! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Looks like Miloderes allredi, a type of weevil that lives in desert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
