Lepidocyrtus paradoxus
Cool (very) little find for number 700! This is a small metallic arthropod (probably a beetle?) It's true size can be seen in pictures three and four where it's by a normal house key and on my finger. It has a few hairs on it's abdomen (can be seen in the four picture). Not a very skittish guy.
Found on fungus growing on a deciduous forest floor. Several clumps of similar fungi were in about a two foot area.
This is the first time see this. Check out the video!
Thanks for your comments! I'm working on an ID but I don't have any clue where to start...
Wow it's beautiful and the song seems very fitting for the setting. I'm interested to see what it is. Nice spotting!
Congratulations on #700! This is very pretty. Hope you receive an ID.
