@courtneyb Hi Courtney, There are two species of beetles in these photos. The first photo focuses on the brown beetle while the other two show the green beetles. Which is the sighting for?
Thanks
Thanks

Two species of family Oedemeridae. The black one with orange elytra is a Pseudolycus sp. (although it may well be moved to another genus when a current study is completed). The smaller black one with orange prothorax might be a Copidita - but that is also subject to change.
