Sad-eyed twitcher - Orchesia castanea
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
March 18, 2006
Size: about 5.5 mm
I have no idea what family this beetle is in. Well, okay, if I had to guess, I'd say Melan*dryidae, but that's a zero-confidence guess. Millimeter marks visible through bottom of clear plastic deli container.

Thanks, Belov.
Despite my resolve not to I´ve been collecting in Ecuador this trip ... a lot of subcortical stuff with photos but I can´t post or email them just yet because I can´t find a card reader at any of the three Internet cafes in nearby Baeza that wil read my memory cards.
