Darkling Beetle
Found at Montagu Mountain Reserve, just north of Montagu. Western Cape, South Africa.
Possibly Psammodes sp.?
Do these oviposit in the soil? The end of abdomen seems to be dug in a bit.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
