Tsk, tsk.  BEETLES ARE NOT BUGS!  Probably a Bombardier Beetle (Brachinus
sp.).  You should have paid attention when it gave you fair warning by doing
its little headstand!  They have a cousin in Arizona/New Mexico called the
Pinacate Beetle which may be encountered as you walk trails in Pinon/Juniper
habitat.

Phooey!  Themz all bugz.  Actually, it was the same beetle (apparently Dung
Beetle) that was rolling the poop.

Thanks for the info, though.
