Thanks, Havalotta, I had tried to find this beetle before without success.

There is a specific thread for "those kinds of photos"

Here's a link:
Bug Porn

I *think* I just discovered the same or similar species this year--I'll post photos for an ID when suunto gets back. ...I think mine were doin' it too.

Oh my bad! I thought that was just nature.

I will definitely reserve such naughty things for "Bug Porn" next time! That is a definitely cool place.

I've never noticed that one...looks like you are frying someone up in a pan.

Looks like an unhappy pancake to me (why I do not know). My husband would definitely like this one

as he is a gun nut (this is Texas, after all, sigh) and has a t-shirt that reads, "I have issues". Thank goodness he is really a teddy bear! More importantly, he likes our critters.
