Burrowing Bug - Cyrtomenus ciliatus
Pasadena, Anne Arundel County, Maryland, USA
September 17, 2006
Size: 7mm
Find these around base of house exposed all the time, mostly mid-spring. They play dead too! This individual didn't move for just over an hour after I quit fooling with it. I've tried with a few others and they will play dead too but the length of time before they crawl away did vary.
