1mm Beetle - Acrotrichis
Copyright © 2007 Perry Babin

1mm Beetle - Acrotrichis
Ascension Parish, Louisiana, USA
Size: ~1mm
This beetle was attracted to a flourescent light. It was extremely hyper-active. It spent most of the time on its back trying to right itself. When it finally did, it usually flew up, hit the lamp and fell on its back again.
