Checkered beetle plus friend
East Rosebud valley above Roscoe, Carbon County, Montana, USA
July 22, 2019
Size: around 9mm
I wish I had better pics; my hiking companions had outdistanced me so I hurried. I assume the beetle is a checkered beetle. But when I examined photo 1, I noticed what I think might be a triungulin near the beetle's mandibles. Any thoughts on that tiny creature are appreciated as well!
