Even though it may not be needed

I did add a couple more images. And thanks for the ID, Kip!

Platynini

Looks like an Agonum sp.

Carabidae / Harpalinae - Pterostichini?

Real diagnostic characters invisible, but the strong elytral striation and rather convex pronotum make me think this is rather a member of the abovenamed tribe, than of Platynini. It may be one of the smaller species of Pterostichus.

Please always tell size and habitat, it helps . . .

Will move

to Harpalinae for now; definitive tribal ID pending on clearer shot of pronotum.

Thanks

for taking a look. I have vowed to put the size of all bugs I post here. This guy was 10 mm and I found him under a concrete block. Thanks again!

Also anything in particular I should take a picture of to help with ID?

Your question

> Also anything in particular I should take a picture of to help with ID?

- That always depends on the type of bug, it is impossible to give advice ahead - only to shoot a series of pictures from different angles.

In this one, a well lighted picture of the pronotum (collar) would be helpful.
