Africa Wild

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

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

Very well done ExF and BluTuna and of course Toko

Wow!

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!

Excellent photos of these beauties, love them

Thanks Toko! 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.

I can almost agree on the first one, but the other one......

I feel your pain Lisbeth.

???? I've been looking at Paussidae, simply because of the pectinate antennae, but the fact that sometimes males and females have different antenna types in some families probably negates that approach. HELP!

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
