A Sandalus Trio - Sandalus niger -

Oakland, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA
October 9, 2014

I have never seen the females fly, and whenever I have captured females they have never tried to fly away from me. The entire time I kept this female alive, it was the same. They do have wings under those elytra though!
