Hister Beetle (Hypocaccus bigener)
Hypocaccus bigener (J. E. LeConte, 1844). Found at Grant Park in South Milwaukee in south-eastern Wisconsin. Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, USA.
This species is common on Lake Michigan beaches. I find it mostly under driftwood and debris, but it can also be seen crawling out on the open sand.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie and plastic cup diffuser.
