Darkling Beetle? - Penthe pimelia
Albany, New Hampshire, USA
May 10, 2005
Size: ~15mm
The last segment of the antennae is yellow. It looks like one of the Darkling Beetles to me. Another opinion would be nice, and could it be identified by species?

Penthe sp.
This is a species of Penthe, family Tetratomidae (formerly part of the Melandryidae). Someone out there can probably put a species on this specimen.
