Brown Beetle - Cercyon luniger
Copyright © 2012 Matt Goff

Brown Beetle - Cercyon luniger
Sitka County, Alaska, USA
April 6, 2012
Size: ~4mm
This picture was taken after I got home and access to a better setup for getting close macro shots. (There's a chance it's not the same exact beetle - I had two of them and was taking pictures of both - not sure if I should keep the images separate, but for now I'll have them tagged together.)
