Red-necked click beetle - Ampedus collaris
Copyright © 2005 Beatriz Moisset

Red-necked click beetle - Ampedus collaris
Briar Bush Nature Center, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, USA
June 8, 2005
Size: 5-7 mm.
I wasn't going to submit this one because it is so out of focus, but it is another mimic of the Lycid complex that Patrick is working on. The head is black, even if you can't see it here.
I hope that somebody gets a better picture soon.

Thanks
After two and a half years, I never imagined that anybody would help me with this one.
