User's notes
Like Tim's beetle, I also initially thought it was dead so collected it to take to the house to photograph, but I soon found it was still alive. Under the lens I realised that it had at least four mites or ticks. (see separate sighting.) Possibly more had fallen off as I carried to the house.
