Giraffe Weevil

Hercules Beetle

Tortoise Beetle

Rhinoceros Beetle

Beetles tend to take on some very interesting designs. Sometimes I forget how crazy they can get.

The Hercules beetle is dope. Takes me back to 5th grade when I made a science report on beetles. Sent an email to an entomologist in Australia and he wrote back.

Dude. I once wrote to someone about spiders and this past year I emailed a botanist from a local university. Both got back to me in like, a week. It's kind of awesome that some researchers go out of their way to make themselves so accessible.

Wow, I really hate the Giraffe Weevil. I don't get a disgust reaction from insects often, but that one's really doing it for me.

What?! No! That one's my favorite. That's why I lead with it. I mean look at the dude. He's so weird! :)

I'd be so afraid of hurting him, though! He looks so fragile compared to the others D:
