    I of course did zoom in. Is it fungal growth? Posted 2 years ago

      I think it is. It was on the underside too. One beetle that I haven't shared -- a dung beetle, I think -- is completely covered in fluffy stuff like this, but so much worse. It grossed me out so much that I rinsed my hands in alcohol after touching it. Posted 2 years ago
