Tiny Mystery Beetle - Thylodrias contractus Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, USA April 25, 2014 Size: less than 3mm long
This tiny beetle was sitting on an envelope at my desk when I got to work. It seemed like it was teetering and not in good health, but maybe it was teetering due to the fact that its legs are so long! It was so tiny I didn't even realize it was a beetle til someone else pointed it out...Thought the short elytra might provide a clue to the id but I haven't been able to come up with a match.
