New county record? Oh so close to Garrett County. Netted and released at the creek crossing at near the entrance to Cranesville Swamp.
Shined my black light on it so you can see it fluoresce.
Galerita sp. Rock Creek Park, Washington, DC, USA.
I see these awesome beetles all the time, but they are super quick and usually long gone by the time I get my camera into position. This one was probably a bit slower than usual on this cool, rainy afternoon. But I still had to harass it badly to get it to stay on top of the log long enough to get in a few quick shots.
