Click Beetle (Ampedus sp.) ovipositing
Ampedus sp. Thanks to Blaine Mathison for providing the determination on bugguide. Found at Mayville Ledge Beech-Maple Woods SNA in east-central Wisconsin. Dodge County, Wisconsin, USA.
Found in mixed hardwood forest. She was ovipositing in a crack on a debarked fallen hardwood tree (American beech I think).
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-26EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie and plastic cup diffuser.
