Any Entomologists near TV?
Got a bug I want to identify. Is there an entomologist or extension office near The Villages?

He's camera shy. Tee hee. Actually, too tiny to photography well.
I know about the office near Bushnell, I was just hoping for something closer.

These bugs are pretty small....and are called American spider beetles. Their bodies are about the size of a pencil tip. Could this be what you've seen?

The nearest one I can think of is located at C.R.466 and Morse Blvd. On the Southwest corner. The Extension Agent is Jim Davis. He can be reached at 352-793-2728. Call first, he is usually at someones home helping with all sorts of problems. Leave a message......He WILL call you back within 24 business hours. He can also refer you to a plethora of other experts and publications. PLUS....he does NOT laugh about our stupid mistakes, ( at least not where we can hear him ). Put the critter (alive if possible ) in a Zip-Lock bag.....Then put the bag inside another zip-lock bag......and then.....and then......Put the "package" in the freezer.

Mr. Fixit - THANK YOU! I will contact him.
Pooh - no, it is pretty scary but that's not the bug.
