Pending ID – Myrmecocephalus
#1. Late November 2013
Strathblane
Identification thanks to Boris Büche.
#2. Myrmecocephalus sp.
Late September 2016
Port Huon
Mating pair of tiny rove beetles running around at decent pace. Appears the male has a rotated mating position of 180 degrees and thorax fully bent back under his own abdomen, thus allowing him to run forward with the female while still ‘docked’. Found under a log. The last two photos are of the female.
