Field Notes

Description:

Lycid Beetles are elongated and flattened beetles that may be found on flowers or on plant surfaces.

Habitat:

These beetles are cosmopolitan, being found in Nearctic, Palearctic, Neotropical, Afrotropical, Oriental, and Australian ecoregions.[1] Calopteron discrepans is found in the Eastern United States from New England south to Florida.

Notes:

I'm sure the scientific name. Is difficult in someone book show Lycidae sp., but is the family, I thing that Metriorrhynchus rhipidius is a real scientific name.

I saw this beetle at the Las Alturas Biological Station in San Vito near the La Amistad International Park. Las Alturas de Cotón.
