Hydrophilus Triangularis
A large black beetle. Arched back.
Found in an open conifer forest.
We were eating dinner on an outside deck when this insect landed on the table. then fell to the floor. It was near dusk.
Thank you Vo Anh Tuan. It never occurred to me that it was a water beetle. As I have never seen anything like it in the water and being we were in such a dry environment. But on further reflection there is a section of the creek where it spreads out into a marshy area. This area is about a 5 minute walk from where we were.
