Imago - Odontotaenius disjunctus
Gainesville, University of Florida, Natural Area Teaching Laboratory, Alachua County, Florida, USA
May 5, 2007
Size: ~2.5 cm
This beetle was in a tunnel deep inside a hardwood log, possibly oak. The outside of the log was very dry indeed, and yet inside there was a very high moisture content and a lot of other arthropods were there as well. Note how the wood in the tunnel looks kind of chewed up.
