  I'ts truly odd as the entire idea behind a click beetle is to now draw attention and to "click" jump away when approached. This one seems to have the opposite idea :) Posted 3 years ago

This type of insect and image is what got me taking their pictures. The black and bright yellow stripes with the red stripe leading to the red head. You just have to look again and again. Posted 3 years ago
