Field Notes

Description:

He had 6 hairy little legs. Two antennas coming out of his head and two antenna type things coming from the bottom of his head. Like he used them to taste and feel where he was going. He almost looks like a giant ant!

Habitat:

?

Notes:

I found this crawling around my daughters toys. I've never seen this type of beetle before. I'm assuming it's a beetle by the way.
