maybe Pheropsophus sp.
I found this fellow in a bag of composting cow manure in my garden in Tamil Nadu, India.
Genial !!!
thanks Gopal, yes it does look like the one shown in Wikipedia, but that one is from Australia. Maybe this is an Indian cousin!
It looks like a Bombardier Beetle (Pheropsophus sp)..
A tiger beetle? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_beetl...
Anyone know what this beetle might be?
