this beetle (of some sort - that's the first question), is covered by little beetles(?) or somethings - that's the second question. Is this procreation or parasites? Does anyone know what's going on here? The image was taken near Maple Falls, Washington in July(ish). This is the northwest corner of Washington state, in the Mt. Baker foothills: cedars, alders, big leaf maples. Closest big tree was a big leaf maple.
Large black spider with yellow stripes.I ran across this fellow when I was cutting down a maple tree.There was a funnel web nearby,but I've never seen a funnel weaver with a body the size of a penny.I would like to know if anyone knows what this could be?
