Mark, thanks. I used a 100 mm macro lens on a tripod to get those shots. I don't think they are that good, being taken on a piece of white tissue paper, but at least you can see the little guy. I much prefer to take shots of wild life in their natural habitat. Not so interested in small bugs (I am more interested in butterflies) but I will take photos of small beasties when I come across them.

Quite small. Well done on these shots then. Where there's one there is probably more :-)

Mark, he was about 5 millimeters long.

Mark, I just looked at him with a magnifying glass. I can not see any antenna but I know I saw them before. He was dead when I found him. Maybe they dropped off moving him. Joe

Mark, he had antenna when I picked him. I don't know why they didn't show in the photos. I'll try to take another photo with the antenna if I can find them. Joe

Looks like some Tenebrionidae (antennae missing) What size? I guess it wasn't a water beetle. :-(
