Found this video I took a couple years ago of a prionus longhorn beetle trying unsuccessfully to bury itself in the grass (ostensibly out of shame because I had just rescued it from drowning in the pool)
Rosalia longicorn (Rosalia alpina)

#2427 - Hybolasius crista
One of 9,776 species of insects first described by Johan Christian Fabricius, back in 1775. Another New Zealand endemic longicorn.
There are 19 species of Hybolasius in New Zealand, and others elsewhere. H. crista breeds in the stems of large-leaved Coprosma species, apparently, but little is known about their biology.
Mangorei, Taranaki, New Zealand.
had a great photosession with Rosalia alpina that visited our home today ✨

I tried to draw some of my favorite bugs in a Hollow Knight-esque style!
Also here are their names in Korean and their direct translations because I thought them mildly interesting.
털두꺼비하늘소 - Furry toad sky ox
물잠자리 - Water dragonfly
남색초원하늘소 - Indigo grasslands sky ox
