Ground BeetlesWhat is this one?
We have been seeing this bug quite frequently all over our house recently. We had someone come out and take a look at it, and they thought it was some form of boxelder bug. I think it looks closer to an assassin bug – but not close enough. There is no reference to size in the picture, but they are probably the biggest bug I have ever had in my house. Also, they are very fast. Thoughts?
Thanks for the help,
Kent
Hi Kent,
This is a False Bombardier Beetle, Galerita janus. They can still spray repulsive chemicals, so not sure where the “false” applies!
