Man! Crumby Hates It When He Does That

Since Crumby is exceptionally average and average individuals make mistakes, Crumby must also make mistakes. Mercy! But when Crumby makes a mistake, he’s liable to put it on the internet for the Goddess plus the entire disinterested world to look at or espy. Which is precisely what happened with the Glyptina episode. Merciful heavens and me oh my.

Oh well. It’s a good thing Ray captured this red and black beetle at work yesterday. Ray put this little beetle in a pill bottle and brought it home. Then we attempted to take its picture.

The methodology for taking its picture was, Crumby gets the camera ready. Ray opens pill bottle. Beetle crawls out. Beetle is on the move so Crumby has to take its picture while the beetle is in motion, always a challenge for the E330. Beetle flies off.

This is the only picture we got. There's plenty of reflection cause the flash was set too high. But, while fixing to identify this beetle, we discovered Crumby’s big faux pas on the Glyptina blog entry. No, no, no! Not Glyptina!

Why’s the red and black beetle good? Well. While we were looking at leaf beetle pictures to compare our red and black beetle with, we noticed that we had two pictures of the same beetle species, only the two pictures of the beetles had two scientific names at variance with one another. So if we had not been studying up on the red and black beetle, we would not have found that atrocious, almost criminal, evil, scum-sucking error.

We are not hazarding a guess on the species of this particular red and black beetle. However, its so colorful, seems like everyone should know what it is. On the other hand, it’s little, only about 5mm.
