tiny reddish beetle, Henoticus? - Cryptophilus
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
October 6, 2005
Size: about 2.5mm
One of a few beetle visitors to my UV lights last night. It was warm and humid out and I was curious to see who showed up at the lights this late in the year. All orders of insects that showed were sparsely represented.

Good! Thanks, Boris.
I've added the genus with question mark, leaving it on family page.
