False Click Beetle
Found at Mayville Ledge Beech-Maple Woods SNA in east-central Wisconsin. Dodge County, Wisconsin, USA.
Found in mixed hardwood forest. It was crawling around on a dead debarked borer-hole riddled hardwood tree. This is the same tree a vanhorniid wasp was photographed on about a week earlier.
It was rapidly crawling around on the tree without stopping. I was incredibly lucky to get this in-focus shot when it was crawling between the various sized borer holes.
Single exposure, slightly cropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-26EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
