Beetlesanother Texas Ironclad
Hey Bugman!
Caught sight of this critter scrambling across the concrete on my back porch, which faces the greenbelt here in Austin, TX. Ran back in and was ecstatic to find a hit on Beetle Page 2. Thought I’d send this pic along… I managed to get pretty close, so you can really see the body division and leg construction

Hi Andrea,
We always appreciate fine photographs of distinctive insects. This Ironclad Beetle, Zopherus haldemani, is a nocturnal species that hides by day.
