beetle

It doesn't look like a beetle, but it is, in the genus Ripiphorus. Possibly of Ripiphorus diadasiae. The name 'Rhipiphorus means 'fan-bearer' and refers to the male's antennae, visible here. OM-1, Oly 60mm, Godox v350o, Cygnustech diffuser

I believe these guys are in the 'chilocorus' genus. Gear: Sony A7III 100mm 2x macro lens Speedlight & diffuser..
