A handful of beetle

I've been out flipping rocks, and came home with a stack of photos to process. Here's the first of the lot.

All out of breath.

Could that beetle ever run! I chased him and chased him and chased him through piled dead leaves and old sticks, caught him and lost him and caught him again. Then when I finally had him, he must have figured he was safe in my hand, and just sat there while I aimed the camera at him, one-handed.

The rest of the photos and story will be along presently.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
