User's notes
these beetles were fairly commonly noticed,; a single beetle at the top of a grass blade or sedge or forb, often overhanging the stream. (and very awkward to photograph). This one was walking over a rock.
the size (5-12 mm) may be a bit generous.
Then I noticed this one walking up a stone
