Handsome fungus beetle (Endomychus biguttatus)

Photographed at the Fletcher Wildlife Garden. This tiny beetle is usually found on Schizophyllum commune, a common little fungus found all over the region, growing on trees, and on which the beetle feeds. This was moving like mad so I got only a couple of blurred shots, unfortunately. But as I rarely see them, I decided to post this anyway.

He is very tiny and I like his lady bug look. V.
