This is Odontotaenius disjunctus, AKA the Patent-leather Beetle. I found it under the bark of a dead Hickory Tree.
Shot in the foam board lightbox. Cropped, curves, softened some of the flash highlights by lightly painting over them, contrast, SH, high-pass and smart sharpening. Blurred the shadow under the beetle.
