Black Butt - _TNY_4220S2
Soldier beetles (Cantharidae) are a large, cosmopolitan family of beetles with over 5000 described species. In Sweden, 49 of those have been found.
This particular one lacks a common English as well as Swedish name but the scientific one is Rhagonycha nigriventris.
That "nigriventis" part makes for an easy translation and is decriptive - it literally means "black butt".
This is a two-exposure focus stack compiled in Zerene Stacker for some added depth-of-field.
