Sap Beetle on Carrion - Omosita discoidea Near Ruraldale, Upshur County, West Virginia, USA March 24, 2005 Size: 3.3 mm
Tiny beetle (just over 3 mm) found on a deer carcass. Based on the beetle's shape and the ball-ends on the antennae, I came up with an ID of Nitidulidae. Corrections appreciated, or if anyone can help with genus or species that would be great too.
