small carrion beetle - Catops
Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, USA
May 11, 2011
Size: 3 mm
A rather rough-looking beetle, missing a hind leg and with a big mite on the thorax. I don't think it is long for this earth. It has a short 8th antennomere, and it seems to have the appearance of Leiodidae: Cholevinae.
