Darkling Beetle
Ammodonus fossor (LeConte 1847). Found at Spring Green Preserve SNA in south west-central Wisconsin. Sauk County, Wisconsin, USA.
This individual was found in a small shallow debris pit in the sandy path that winds through high-quality sandy prairie and oak savanna habitat. I generally find them in debris pits in sandier habitats.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie and plastic cup diffuser.
