This beetle, nicknamed Chuck by my young son, would not stay away from our campfire no matter how hard we tried. Ultimately, the warmth and light were too much for Chuck to resist. However Chuck did survive, because we found him a second time enjoying our campfire again, 60 miles away at Saddlebag Lake (elev. over 10,000 ft.).
