Okay, finally got it written up, but not a lot of info. These can be removed please. (I would do it myself, but there's no "X" to delete the entry, just edit) Thank you!

That is questionable, but certainly very interesting O**

All these insects are no doubt certainly an eye opener on this very underestimated universe ^Q^ ^Q^ ^Q^

Very well done ExF and BluTuna and of course Toko O\/ O\/

Please compare these photos to existent entries in the Beetle Book and see if you think they are the same. If so, please add, if not I will try to identify. Thank You!

Thanks Toko! O0 I have 2 more that aren't in the book yet, but I'm gonna try a bit harder to at least get a general idea of what they may be before asking for your expertise. 0/0

I feel your pain Lisbeth. lol

The antennas are impressive? Is it a kind of fly with those eyes? but I have never heard about flyes with antennas :-?

Fantastic photos, ExF ^Q^ ^Q^
