Beetle
Shipley Nature Center, Huntington Beach, Orange County, California, USA
May 26, 2008
Size: ~0.5cm
Found three of these on the underside of a piece of dead bark on the path, along with an earwig and some smaller, faster beetles. These did not initially move when I picked up the bark, giving me ample time to photograph them.
