Another tiny bracket fungus beetle - Sericoderus lateralis
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
November 12, 2005
Size: 1.5 mm approx.
Found while picking apart a tough, thick-lobed little bracket fungus growing on a small stump. It is very similar to another that I photographed and posted earlier that came from a long-dead squirrel carcass:

Corylophidae, Sericoderus sp.
Genus Sericoderus, no one really knows the species at this time.
