    Interesting rough texture. Does it have any specific purpose that you know of? Camouflage? Posted 4 years ago

      A lot of bark beetle, especially genus Assida have a similar aspect. I've found this beetle at ground, on a sandy soil where it was almost invisible, so yes I think this color and texture helps a lot for a good camouflage... Posted 4 years ago
