Bug of the Day
This funky dude is a reticulated beetle, Cupes capitatus. I think this shot is a good view of where the family gets its name - reticulated refers to the lattice-like pattern on the wing covers (technical entomonerd verbiage: "clathrate elytra"). But also, that shrunken nugget of a head is hilarious to me LOL.

IDK why, but in my head this photo is called “My Friend Likes to Draw on His Hand.” Makes *ZERO* sense because that marker looks accidentally applied. Anyway, thanks friend, for holding this reticulated beetle (Tenomerga cinerea) who desperately wanted us to believe it was dead :-).

Love these Cupedid beetles (this one is Tenomerga cinerea). One showed up at the light a few weeks ago, and when I brought the camera too close, it played dead and dropped like a rock. Glad I was able to get a redo the other night - this photo is SHARP!
