Bug at the Beach - Habroscelimorpha dorsalis
Vero Beach, Indian River County, Florida, USA
August 4, 2012
Size: maybe 1/2 inch long
Have seen this beetle on 2 separate occasions at the same location and though camouflaged against the sand, is easy enough to spot, yet this beetle was quite flighty and very active making it a challenge to get a photo.
