Beetle

Found at Bugin Nature Reserve, S of Quairading. Western Australia, Australia.

 

Found on saline playa surface.

 

Perhaps Scarabaeidae? Has a scarab vibe to it. Should have tried for a ventral shot.

 

Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
