I took a pic of a STRANGE critter this year at Kielie Krankie...after much research it turned out to be a "moldy {mouldy} beetle". ^0^ Never heard of such a thing before. Looks like yours is equally WEIRD. ^Q^

Too busy w/ holidays, KTP birds, and cheetahs, but will get to the insects next year O** O**

You can just add it to nan's, like we did w/ the bird ref. book, etc. I have lots of insect pics, but they have probably been written up already...do I just post the pics here, Toko, and you will move them appropriately? Thanks.

Does not matter, as you like ;-)
