Pill Beetle - Simplocaria semistriata Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA October 9, 2006 Size: 3.2 mm
This beetle landed near me in a residential neighborhood and found its way into my pocket vial. Something about its features (pointy pygidium, broad stria, stippled surface, medium-long semi-decumbent setae, plus the antennae of course) makes me think it might belong to a family I haven't collected before.
