Moved
Moved from Rove Beetles. These little guys like it cold! I remember there being numerous old winter records in the MCZ collection, but never managed to collect the species myself while in MA. I'm glad to know it's still hanging on!

I was able to find a fair number of these beetles in the sedge tussocks in the wetland behind my house. If you want, I can send some specimens to you. Again, thanks for all the help.
