I agree that this is a type of ground beetle and no cause for immediate concern. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kim Adkins Sent: Thursday, October 14, 2010 5:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [pestlist] Bug Identification...again Thank you all so much for your help identifying my bug from yesterday. To paraphrase the song, "another day, another bug". Again, I don't think this bug is a baddie, but I wanted to be sure. This one is about 0.5 inches long. It's about 0.25 inches wide. Sorry about the weird purple streaks on the picture. I took a few, but they kept showing up. Thanks again for your help!
