FL Scarab - Ateuchus
Istachatta, Hernando County, Florida, USA
August 30, 1966
Size: 5.8 mm
This photo of the right posterior trochanter is an attempt to match it up with these drawings: https://bugguide.net/node/view/600476
I'm not seeing a bristle on the trochanter, per the drawing, but the shape suggests A. lecontei to me.
