Amazing animal!
Good discovery, I never knew that Pulau Tioman had Trilobite Beetles too.
Wow interesante
Hi Kaisa! Where you know the common name of the species, please could you look up & add the scientific name - it is very easy to do on a Google search. That takes the spotting out of the "unknown" list. We would also appreciate it if you could add a reference link & complete some info in the details field for your spottings.
Cool spotting! According to a reference I read, this spesies is endangered and only inhabits healthy forest. you are very lucky if you spotted this :D
