Short video of this rare hybrid can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cpBGNALFHQs
It showed up at our feeding station for a few weeks and mostly associated with Egyptian Geese, but also would follow with Muscovies as well on occasion. He had a real identity crisis!

Huge stab in the dark here but from Google associations there’s a photo of type of tiny black jumping beetle that looks very very similar to me to these photos. But of a guess here. I don’t know what category this would come in within Beetles either? I think it’s a jumping bug? 🤷♂️
