    Default Unknown beetle in another photo

    This little beetle was visiting one of my other photos.

    Looked through my field guide, but can't find anything which matches exactly, the most obvious feature is the pair of clubbed antennae.

    They are very small, as seen by the comparison with the Soldier beetles.
