Scottpat Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Well, that's not a June Bug! The first photo made it look like a Godzilla bug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosier inspector Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Drug store beetle, or in your area maybe a tobacco beetle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yeah, it did, Scott. Sorry about that. The macro setting on the Pentax WG-4 can really get in there if you want it to. I think Robert's answer is about as close as I'm going to get. Though it also brought up "Confused Flour Beetle". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
