Little Bear - Paracotalpa ursina

Little Bear - Paracotalpa ursina
Miramar College campus, Mira Mesa, San Diego County, California, USA
April 1, 2013
Size: 15 mm
This beetle was found clinging to the outside of the Science Building at Miramar College. Over the years I have seen a couple specimens of this species on campus around late March or early April almost every year, so despite the intense disturbance of the land, this species is persisting here. This was a larger specimen, so I suspect it to be a female.
