Rove beetle

Thanks Albert. We will treat this off the feed until the matter is resolved. I am kindly asking everyone to stop commenting here at this stage.

@Daniele, just ask for a copy of the picture with EXIF data, you will know the who posted the picture with the correct info.

The image is indeed identical to this one:
http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/509...
Date and location are different.
Christiane is one of our long time rangers. I will contact her on Facebook.
Felix can you please contact me on support@projectnoah.org

Felix Fleck and Christiane,
Were you both together when you found this beetle?

Hmm.. I seem to recognise this picture.

@ ChunXingWong .. Could you please help to ID this little spider? http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/126...

@ Gordon and ChunXingWong.. Thank so much. It's great to have an ID for this one. I have only seen it once and only have 2 photos.. :)

Very good, I think you're right.

Gordon Dietzman is right. This is a rove beetle.
Sorry I can't give you a good reference link for this species.

Thanks Gordon .. I will look it up. :)

By the way, very nice photo!

At first I thought this was an earwig which it resembles superficially, but it lacks the large cerci of earwigs. I think what you have here is a member of the rove beetles (Staphylinid beetles). I've done some research but haven't come up with a better ID than that and am not sure where else to look, but that is where I'd start looking for an ID. Maybe http://archive.fieldmuseum.org/peet_stap... ?

stunning!

Brilliant ant :)
