1mm carcass beetle - Sericoderus lateralis

1mm carcass beetle - Sericoderus lateralis
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
October 6, 2005
Size: 1 mm
Two of these tiny beetles came off a skin & bones squirrel carcass that I whacked repeatedly on a sheet of plastic. They played dead for awhile. I spotted them when they started to move. The white fibers are the edge of a moist paper towel scrap in the container.
