Beetle - Simianus cf. pyrochroides

A side the staghorn-like antenna, all search point me to golden net-winged beetle, genus Dictyoptera. And the red-orange orb extrudes out from bottom of its abdomen, is it egg, is it parasite?

James, we cannot create a species record based on a genus since a genus is not a singular species.

Great insect though! Posted one year ago

I think this might be Simianus sp., maybe something like Simianus cf. pyrochroides. The red, roundish thing might be a mite.

      I think so, a side your links (and those geographically inappropriate) I can't find anything close. Thanks again your ID superpower! Posted one year ago
