Beetle from Northern Va - Odontotaenius disjunctus
Quantico Marine Corps Base, Prince William County, Virginia, USA
July 17, 2006
Size: 1.5 inches
I saw this Beetle flyong in my yard so I captured it to ID it. Can't Exactly find a good ID for it. I have found a few that look close but the image resolution was poor, so no positive ID. I have take some good photos of the beetle in hopes it will be easly identified.
