"2-3" --did you mean, mm?
please make sure to indicate units here and elsewhere, and keep in mind that size data
only help if measured
, otherwise the field is better left blank; estimates are useless for identification purposes, and more often mislead than help
in this particular case, i would have been pretty confident about the ID but for the fact that nothing of this gestalt is within the indicated size range; estimates posted without a clear indication that the size has not actually been measured often badly hurt one's chances to get an ID

I did mean mm, and I did not measure it and should be ignored, despite I had it within 5" from my face.

thanks for the explanation, Kurt
please go ahead and edit the size field
you can put there "2-3 mm estimated" but i strongly suggest clearing the field, for reasons explained above; i'll then give you a name for the beetle
all too often images remain without IDs only because the indicated size is way off due to incorrect assessment
