BeetlesConfused in Indiana
Hi Bugman,
I figure the thing that erks you most is when people send you a photo of an insect for identification without first checking to see if the bug is on your site. I believe I am NOT one of those people. I’ve looked through just about every page and if this little critter is listed, I’ve totally overlooked him. It was brought to me by a co-worker that lives near a creek which is flooded right now. We’re in Evansville, Indiana. Any information will be greatly appreciated! Sincerely,
Sean Kempf
Hi Sean,
Rove Beetles are atypical as far as beetles are concerned, and many people would not even recognize them as beetles. Your Rove Beetle is a Hairy Rove Beetle, Creophilus maxillosus.
