Amici Con Coleotteri Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Had found and kept a random larva, and realized a few days later that it was pupating...really wish I had taken photos throughout the process... a few days ago I discovered a white beetle in the capsule! And here he is all growned up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazr80 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Cool! Is he really small? He kinda looks like my carinatas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amici Con Coleotteri Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Cool! Is he really small? He kinda looks like my carinatas. Yes. He's at most 3/4" but I'm going to say 1/2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Neatus sp maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazr80 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Check out the nyctoporus carinatas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 This beetle has no prominent ridges on its elytra, unlike nyctoporus. Maybe blapstinus, based on the size. Amici, could you take another picture, perhaps from above the beetle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amici Con Coleotteri Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'll try to get a better picture tomorrow...or later on today rather lol. Think you may have nailed it with Neatus sp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amici Con Coleotteri Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Might worth checking this out http://bugguide.net/node/view/249455/bgimage Well now I'm confused...looks like that could be it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
