I found this bug today under a rock. I've never seen one before. It looks pretty cool I think. If anyone knows what it is let me know please.

Some sort of beetle, you can see the elytra. I'm not sure though, I'll ask my cousin.

Looks similar to a Long-necked Seed Bug but I am not sure.

Oh I know exactly what it is, but if an Id is sought then more information should be provided by the seeker.

Sorry lol. I have really never seen this type of bug and I've always been interested in bugs so I've seen a lot just never this one. All I had on me when I found it was a test tube and I didn't want to bring it to my house then let it go I just caught it for a few minutes to look at it. And I've been pretty busy qithy ants I've caught allot of queens the past few weeks and have been trying to figure out what colonies to keep or release.
