groovy little bug
Posted on | August 5, 2009 | 3 Comments
i spotted this guy today, sitting on the edge of my garden fish bowl.
his beautiful curly antennae were wafting and swirling in the breeze.
i’ve never seen anything like him before.
does anyone have any ideas as to what kind of critter he might be?
edited to say: he is a feather horn beetle.

I have no idea what he is but he could make a fortune in advertising lash-extend mascara. He is beautiful !
