Hister Beetle (Hypocaccus bigener)
Hypocaccus bigener (J. E. LeConte, 1844). Found at Arena Canoe Landing north of Arena in south-central Wisconsin. Iowa County, Wisconsin, USA.
Found on sandy bank of Wisconsin River. I tried to get a shot of it completely visible on the sand surface, but it would immediately start burrowing before I was ready to snap the shot.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-26EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie and plastic cup diffuser.
