Click Beetle (Balgus eschscholtzi)
Balgus eschscholtzi (Laporte, 1835). Tentative ID based on revision here. Found at Reserva Ecológica de Guapiaçu (REGUA), in Cachoeiras de Macacu municipality in state of Rio de Janeiro in southeastern Brazil.
Saw a couple of these on tops of leaves during my travels on this trail. Cute little beetles at 9-10mm. On first sight I thought it was a eucnemid.
Found on Green Trail (Trilha Verde).
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
