Black Firefly - Family Lampyridae, Lucidota atra?

I think this beetle is in the family Lampyridae, but am not totally sure. Tentative ID is Lucidota atra.

Habitat: Adirondack Mountains -- I'm not sure what the exact location was because we were mountain hiking.

*The Adirondack mountains are located in northeastern New York and contains more than 6 million acres of forests, including mountains, wetlands, and old-growth forests.

  Thanks :). What do you think of the ID? It's the only species I could think of, and I am assuming this individual just had an extra-dark pronotum. Posted 4 years ago
