Many other images from this event are posted. I collected representative specimens of most, and can follow up with high resolution images of selected ones if needed. Size is determined from the sheet it's on having 80 by 100 threads per inch.

One sees in this image a phoretic uropodid mite attached to the beetle's left thorax. Detailed views of it are posted in Uropoidae:

It may have jumped off, or it may simply have been attracted to the light and has nothing to do with the beetle. I have observed mites in the family Adamystidae, which this one resembles, active in full sun:
