Anteater Scarab Beetle (Cremastocheilus castaneae)
Cremastocheilus castaneae Knoch 1801. Thanks to v belov for providing the species determination on bugguide. Found at Mud Lake Bog SNA in central Wisconsin. Waupaca County, Wisconsin, USA.
Found on top of old weathered fallen tree limb in mixed forest. There was a fallen tree with Formica sp. ants relatively close (4 or 5 feet), but I cannot say they were associated for sure.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
