Furry ladybird beetle
Scymnus sp
-37.894, 145.311
Field Notes
Description:
A tiny beetle about 3 mm long with black slightly pitted elytra. Appeared to have a slight fuzz but this could be dust !.
Antenna appeared short with a club-end ?
Underside of abdomen was a honey brown
(the aussie 5 cent coin is the same size as a nickel)
Notes:
Found him scuttling across the garden bench. Very fast moving and tried to fly away when disturbed. had him on his back for just a few seconds.
He's the smallest beetle I've ever seen - it's a pity I could not wipe him down for the pics !!
Could someone help me with an ID, please ?...martinl ?
