Zopheridae sp. (family) (Zopherid beetle)


https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/cc9ddd52-1f4f-4a42-a3c2-1c87dbf2c2d8

Dull-coloured and rough-textured beetles, usually brown or black and with the body parallel-sided. Most species are small (<10mm), but the 'Ironclad beetle', Zopherosis georgii, is an exception at 25-35mm.

Zopherids are usually associated with wood or fungi; larvae may be found under bark or in rotten wood and adults on the surfaces of wood or fungal fruiting bodies.
