I think this is a rove beetle and lots of other neat stuff.

Moved

neat stuff indeed:
Paederus, the centerpiece; a shiny hydrophilid, mid-bottom; a heterocerid [left top, sniffing the moth's butt]; Bledius, 2 ea., one between the heterocerid & the hopper, another mid-bottom, just left of the hydrophilid; a myodochine bug (Pseudopachybrachius vinctus?) right bottom corner; a ?stenolophine or aphoddine above it; oxeteline rove above left bottom cormer

 
neat stuff indeed
Thanks so much for the ID. I see that there is only one species of Paederus on BG, so I assume there are more that aren't represented yet. Is there any chance that when that happens this might go to species? or no. Glad you liked all the neat stuff. You should have been there that night!! So many neat things. Just hope someday I will know even half of them.

 
I would love to be there too...
that's a bonanza of beetles!
