Creophilus maxillosus
Creophilus ''maxillosus'' belongs to the order Coleoptera and is most commonly referred to as the hairy rove beetle. The rove beetles are a large family, having almost 2,900 species in North America. This species can be found in woods and wherever carrion is found, usually from the spring to autumn months. These active beetles fly swiftly or run rapidly over the ground with the tip of the abdomen raised like a scorpion's stinger.〔Bryan, Nora. "Hairy Rove Beetle." Talk about Wildlife. 1999. 12 Mar 2009 http://talkaboutwildlife.ca/profile/index.php?s=1419.〕 Although a few are known to be parasitic, most rove beetles and their larvae prey upon mites, other insects, and small worms.
==Physical characteristics and life cycle==
Larvae of the hairy rove beetle range from long and are cylindrical and stout. The adult is a shiny black color and approximately long.〔Byrd, J. H., & Castner, J. L. (Eds.). (2001). Insects of forensic importance. In Forensic entomologist: The utility of arthropods in legal investigations (''Phaenicia cuprina''). Florida: CRC Press.〕 They are easily characterized by their elytra, which cover the first few abdominal segments. They have large eyes, and their mandibles close across each other in the front of the head and can inflict a painful stab if harassed or handled carelessly. Golden setae are located on posterior angles of the head and slightly on the anterior angle of the pronotum. These setae can be found on the last few abdominal segments and on elytra. The hairy rove beetle has needle-like jaws that close across in front of head and large, prominent eyes. The antennae are thick, beaded, and composed of 11 segments.
The development of eggs is around 4 days, larvae 14 days, and pupae 16 days. The eggs are milky white colored, long and hatch in about 3 days (depending on temperature). The larval stage lasts around 14 days. The pupae, which is around 11 mm wide lasts 16 days. The estimation of the total duration of ''Creophilus maxillosus'' lasts 37 days.〔"Species Page: ''Creophilus maxillosus''." Entomology Collection. 2001. University of Alberta's E.H.
