Bentsen rove beetles

Bentsen rove beetles
World Birding Center at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, Hidalgo County, Texas, USA
September 12, 2008
These photos are not all of the same individual beetle, but I think are all the same species. There was a massive outbreak of these over about a week's period last September. I operated a black-light a couple of nights and the sheet was covered with hordes of them. I had noticed hardly any staphs in the park prior to that outburst.
