Tiny Carabid - Polyderis laeva Medford, (~25 miles east of Philadelphia, PA) Burlington County, New Jersey, USA June 12, 2008 Size: ~1.6mm
this is one of the smallest, if not the smallest ground beetle I've yet found. From the large submentum pits on the underside, I'm guessing it belongs somewhere in Bembidiini?
