Will look at the new ones tomorrow - you know how men have their priorities backwards, at best... - stomach first, insect ID second

Off to dinner

Thanks ExF, I usually know roughly what I'm looking at but a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

I had it down as a Harlequin, I found it when it nipped my arm, the only bite I got in SA and that was before going on Safari

You are very clever, Ex!

You scored an A+ on the butterfly IDs

Thanks for sharing.

Good day I'm new to the forum. Could somebody perhaps identify this beetle ? Picture not very clear. Looks like it belongs to Omorgus species but unsure which one. It is on predator dung. In South Africa

Welcome to the forum, Hennie

Our insect specialist is on holiday for the time being, but maybe someone else can help you.

Have you had a look through some of the insect books?

Have a look on this page: https://africawild-forum.com/viewtopic.p ... 21#p141921

Hennie. Welcome to the forum.

I saw a very similar beetle in Etosha and have yet to ID it.

Would love to know what it is.

Here is a pic I took. Think it's the same or closely related.
