Happy Beetle - Olibrus

Happy Beetle - Olibrus
Litchfield County, Connecticut, USA
August 22, 2008
Size: 2 mm
Shining Flower Beetle, I presume. You can see the reflection of the sky, clouds, and me. Some small vandal has painted a smiley face on the shell (near top center).

Moved

Olibrus sp.
Actually, the smiley face is only diagnostic for a species complex :-).

Matt

I presume so, too...
the smiley face has to be diagnostic :-]
