Beetle ID
12 years ago
Guys
We have today been swamped with load of these little beetles. They look like they may be members of the Cantharidae family, and even possibly a Chauliognathus spp., but I can't pin down any closer than that. Any ideas?
These were in SW Queensland, Australia, some 200km inland from the coast.
Thanks
Fof
