Pselaphinae (Ant-loving Beetles), dorsal - Ctenisodes

Pselaphinae (Ant-loving Beetles), dorsal - Ctenisodes
100 Acre Wood, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
June 25, 2014
Size: 2- mm
The previous owner of this place had way too much mowed grass yard so I now I mow trails and let natives move in. (I do tackle some of the worst weeds.)
I would never have thought to sweep this but I was after quick food for the Antlions. Just about every day I swept turned up something of interest.
