I have ID'd my beetle as this, but got this message when I tried to add the bug. "The order ("Coleoptera") and family ("Geotrupidae") are not familiar to us. Before you can add this bug, you'll need to post the details to the BugFiles How-to's forum."

Soooo, how do I do this? I've had this problem before. I know there is the order Coleoptera here, but when I search for it, it says it can't find it, do I mean Coleoptera? :o Now that is exactly what I had put in. So I click on it and it brings up millions of pages of beetles. The family Geotrupidae doesn't come up at all. Here's the details on my bug and a picture. And here is a link to the bug on Bug guide. http://bugguide.net/node/view/14362
