Flea Beetle - Chaetocnema
Richmond Hill, York Region, Ontario, Canada
June 26, 2007
Size: 2 mm
Two of these showed up in a yellow pan trap, however both revived while I was still sorting and photographing the catch. This image of both individuals was taken before either revived.
I keyed the beetles to genus using the Key to Palearctic Alticine Genera.
