Phloeodes diabolicum- diabolical ironclad beetle
Hi,
I found this wandering around in the men’s restroom at work. I found a picture on your website and thought you might want to see this one. I found it in Placentia, California.
Enjoy,
Eddie

Hi Eddie,
Thanks for sending in your wonderful photo of this fascinating Darkling Beetle. They are known as Ironclad Beetles since the exoskeleton is nearly impenetrable.
