I believe there may be a queue :smirk:

It is a type of Ptiliidae, from Sarawak. It is quite small. Less than 1mm in length. I will try and get a nice picture of it.

We really don’t need a photo of your manhood.:scream:

Oh, hang on, do you mean a whole beetle species ? Not just a beetle ?

Edit: It is the Acrotrichis belli.

Aye, summat like that.

I read somewhere that there are 250,000 ants on the earth for every human. I’ve no idea where all mine are. The odd few drop by each year but it’s a pretty poor show TBH. How many of your beetles are there ? What are they up to ? Are you responsible for it now ?

There were at least two of them. Collected back in '78 and kept at the Natural history Museum.
They became a bit dissected.

If this had been published 4 days ago I would have been rather sceptical!

How do you swim on land?
