approx. 8 mm. keys out okay to pterostichus (2 supraorbital punctures) but unlike the other two small pterostichus species i’ve encountered (strenuus and patruelis) due to the lack of bristles under the terminal tarsal segment. found in a rotting log near Beaver Lake, in Stanley Park, Vancouver, as part of a bioblitz.
Caught swimming out of some dead Carex.
Amazingly small…almost like a flax seed. Found under bark of rotting log.
Picking this taxon because the teardrop shape seems like a decent fit, but correction most welcome.
