Black Red Black - _TNY_7509

The Ampedus click beetles are known as "rödrockar" in Swedish, meaning "red coats". This species, Ampedus balteatus, has decided to go back a bit and sport a black paintjob in both ends.

 

This one is exploring my fingertip on a recent visit to Havtornsudd Point on the Gålö peninsula in Stockholm's inner archipelago.
