Bug of the Day
This funky dude is a reticulated beetle, Cupes capitatus. I think this shot is a good view of where the family gets its name - reticulated refers to the lattice-like pattern on the wing covers (technical entomonerd verbiage: "clathrate elytra"). But also, that shrunken nugget of a head is hilarious to me LOL.
Priacma serrata (Cupedidae)
Bug of the Day
IDK why, but in my head this photo is called “My Friend Likes to Draw on His Hand.” Makes *ZERO* sense because that marker looks accidentally applied. Anyway, thanks friend, for holding this reticulated beetle (Tenomerga cinerea) who desperately wanted us to believe it was dead :-).
Bug of the Day
Love these Cupedid beetles (this one is Tenomerga cinerea). One showed up at the light a few weeks ago, and when I brought the camera too close, it played dead and dropped like a rock. Glad I was able to get a redo the other night - this photo is SHARP!
