Small rounded, bobbing head beetle
September 9, 2009
My dad found this bug in our garage and showed it to me because he knows i don’t condone the killing of bugs, i took a few pics and relocated it. he (or she) never flew, but looked like a beetle that was a quarter inch long and high. it bobbed it’s head down and up quite a bit.
Thanks, joe s.

Hi joe,
We see that by the time we had an opportunity to write back to you, you had already submitted your photo to BugGuide as well and your Earth Boring Dung Beetle has been identified as Bolbocerosoma bruneri.
