Short Elytra - Arthmius globicollis - Male
Alexandria, Fairfax County, Virginia, USA
May 20, 2013
I have a second photo that's not so good showing that the tiny red parts are the full elytra, because in the other picture they're open and I can see a whitish blur that is the folded wings. This was a very small beetle.
