    A very strange 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

    Want critique Battleweary - Blue Metallic Flea Beetle (Altica pagana)

    Hi, Taken at the same time as my Longhorn beetle posted prior, I found this guy at Werribee Gorge park. It has seen better days with only one antenna and a few dents on its armour but the colour alone i felt was worth posting, hope you like it
