adorable beetle bubby. my first thought was some sort of predatory beetle (like tiger beetle adjacent) because of the overall body shape, but now I'm not so sure.
#i'm flumoxed#looked through a site that has a collection of beetles in nfld#nothing matched#if i go for patterning with the shape: the closest are longhorn/tree-eater beetles#but they all have prominent antennae which this bubby doesn't#maybe some sort of stinkbug? clicker beetle? don't know#boogs#buggies#buggie boos#i mean all that said i just realized this might not even be an adult#and could be some instar beforehand#which would make up for appearance discrepencies#bug identification is so wild#might not even be a beetle! fffffff#newfoundland insects#newfoundland beetles#newfoundland arthropods#arthropod photography
