Darkling and Ironclad BeetlesMy bug
Hi,
I found this guy in the countryside of central Texas outside of San Antonio. He was already deceased when I found him and thought his carapace was awesome. Any ideas on what he is? thanks!

Hi Reza,
Your beetle is known as a Southwestern Ironclad Beetle, Zopherus nodulosus. They have very strong exoskeketons.
