Firefly

Tribe Photinini

Description:

This small beetle was about 5 mm long, black and had red on either side of its head. There's a thick black stripe in between the red. I can't tell if it's a Ellychnia or Pyropyga species.

Habitat:

Shoreline of a small lake at a park

Notes:

Unfortunately this is the only shot. I started shooting another species as it swam by and this one disappeared by the time I was done.
