Elaphrus - Elaphrus ruscarius

Elaphrus - Elaphrus ruscarius
Mountville, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, USA
April 19, 2006
Size: 6mm
I'm pretty certain this is species Elaphrus ruscarius, but I will confirm later.

NOTE: The spot on the posterior end of the beetle is my watermark and not part of the insect. This aids in preventing the illegal use of my photograph. If you need a copy of a photo without a watermark please see my licensing agreement on my bio.
