Thanks Carol!
Cool beetle!
Martin, Thanks for sharing the interesting imitators of this beetle!
ooo, I didn´t know... even been an entomologist... I guess I have been spending too much time on bees
The net winged beetle is the model. It is toxic and other species such as moths and weevils imitate this one.
