  1. Amazing! How/why did they all gather in this single place? Posted one year ago
    1. Fer Dy, they were found under a Fungi, which is their food source. The Fungi is around 25 cm width, and there were several of them on the tree trunk. Each Fungi has hundreds of the Beetles. I wasn't sure how many species there were, but now that I was told there were 3, can identify them, basically Small, Medium and Large in sizes :D Posted one year ago
      1. Incredible, I don't think I've ever seen this before, not even in photos. Posted one year ago
  2. Powerful. One of my favorites. It is an abstract, almost texture like yet nature Posted one year ago
