About Eleodes scabrosa Eschscholtz, 1829
Eleodes scabrosa is a species of desert beetle belonging to the genus Eleodes. Its primary range covers western North America, stretching from Washington state down to Mexico. Sporadic, poorly documented sightings of this species also occur across other parts of the United States. Within its main western North American range, the beetle occupies different habitats depending on location. In more temperate areas of its range like Washington state, it lives on beaches. In California and Mexico, it acts as a desert dweller, while still showing a preference for coastal areas.
