robbudo Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Found this beetle in the Rocky Mountains last month. Just looked at my pictures from the trip and this one came out fairly good, wondering if anyone can ID it by sight. It isn't in the beetle books I checked (Audubon field guide to insects & some from European field guides- hey, it's all I have). Any suggestions are appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbudo Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 It sure does look like G. californicus. I'll have to some research to see what kind of fungus it likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
