Without seeing basal antennal segments, cannot be 100% certain, but given color, vesiture and geographic location this is really the best option. In the future, if you collect specimens, I can vouvher-ID click beetles. I do not have many specimens from the north west and north mid-west so reference specimens would be appreciated. Thanks!

Prosternon sp.

possible P. bombycina looking at the whorled setae but impossible to confirm from this angle.
