New Beetle Species Named after Alexandria Resident James Sherald
The new beetle is called Cantharis sheraldi Steury.
“I knew the second I saw it that it was none of the species I had ever seen before in the park, and probably none of the species known from the Eastern United States” said Brent Steury, Natural Resources Program Manager for the George Washington Memorial Parkway, a National Park site in Fairfax and Arlington counties, Virginia.
