Two-Spotted Darkling Beetle
Pimelia bipunctata
The adult beetle inhabits dry, open ground, often sheltering beneath stones or in sandy soil during the hottest part of the day. It forages at night and in cooler conditions for fallen seeds, dead vegetation, and detritus. Its tough dark exoskeleton helps reduce water loss and protects it in harsh, arid environments.
