Notched-mouth Ground Beetle - Dicaelus

Notched-mouth Ground Beetle - Dicaelus
Ackworth, Warren County, Iowa, USA
April 4, 2009
Size: ~15 mm
On ground under small log. We took down a big tree in our yard last fall and stacked the larger branches on the lawn. I rolled one over this afternoon and found this beetle. It tried to escape by running and burrowing between clumps of soil.
