This cutie is a Horned Passalus Beetle (also called Patent-Leather Beetle). They are some of my favorite beetles! More info on them can be found in the description of this YouTube short.

Also available on TikTok!

@orvet submitted: found this guy while looking for mushrooms on a log (Bronx, NY, USA)

A lovely horned passalus beetle!

[barksenji]

My dad found a dead horned Passalus beetle, surrounded by ants, outside our apartment and brought it to me.

This beetle, Odontotaenius disjunctus, is a saproxylic beetle from the Passalidae family. It can grow over 1.5 inches long, weigh 1-2 grams, and pull 50 times its weight. These shiny black beetles have long grooves on their elytra, a small horn between their eyes, and stick antennae. Males and females look similar.

They communicate by rubbing their wings against their abdomen, creating sounds that intrigue both entomologists and music lovers.

Despite a dented carapace and missing leg segment, the horned passalus beetle marches bravely on.

(Just a PSA if you are going to pick up bugs like this, make sure there's nothing on your hands that could hurt them!)

*ANGRY BEETLE NOISES*

context: I rolled a log over and found a group of passalids (Odontotaenius disjunctus) so i put them in my hand to take pics. Then I noticed another one on the other side of the log, but that one must’ve been from a different colony because they did not get along

A few of my most recent settings using all naturally deceased insects that I've found everywhere from my own yard to an Aldi automatic door entrance. The Polistes carolina wasp and Cylisticus sp. isopod have already made their way to new homes :D.

I create these with vintage thrifted finds, reused jars, pieces that I've collected and preserved from my own yard and garden, and pieces that I've found at my favorite craft re-use store.

Top L to R: Horned Passalus Beetle (Odontotaenius disjunctus, Clylisticidae isopod

Middle L to R: Green June Beetle (Cotinus Nitida), Giant Leaf-footed Bug (Acanthocephala declivis), Lycosidae Wolf Spiders

Bottom L to R: Brood XIX Periodical Magicicada wings, and Fine Backed Red Paper Wasp (Polistes carolina)

Do you have any insect headcanons for the other Mob Psycho 100 characters? (For example, Tsubomi, Shou, the body improvement club, etc). I love your insect AU, I keep looking at it and smiling. It's the best thing since sliced bread

AAAAH TY TY TY I'm so glad people enjoy my mp100 bug au it makes me so happy :] I can totally list off some more headcanons, here's what I'm thinking:

Sho and his dad would probably be a species of fire ants, with Tochiro being an ant colony monarch who invades and destroys other ant colonies, as ants tend to do irl. I was originally thinking the "Polyergus lucidus" (no common name) ant species for the Claw leader, as they're an obligate social parasite that assimilates other colonies and forces the pre-existing ants to do their bidding, but then I realized I'd have to apply that assignment to Sho as well and it didn't feel quite right. I was also considering bullet ants for their notoriously painful sting, but I also base my headcanons off of hair color so the red/orange fire ant species seemed like the best fit.

For Tsubomi, I'm still deciding between another black carpenter ant like Mob and Ritsu, or the more likely choice of the starry sky longhorned beetle (becuse of her long black hair). See, I'm split on whether I only want psychics to be ants, or whether the AU has some non-esper ants as well- it all depends on how I'm translating the psychic powers in the bug world, whether I want to go the more realistic route and replace it or give myself the leeway of letting em retain their canon abilities. I'm leaning towards a proficiency in chemical communication, as ants IRL largely base their interactions and movements on the chemicals other ants produce. So an ant like Mob would just be particularly skilled at instructing and sending other ants in his colony at parasatoids (the equivalent of ghosts in this AU), and that would mean the entire colony is an extension of his powers. Reigen's situation would then especially make sense, as he's pretending to be an ant but can't produce the necessary chemicals to interact with/command other ants in the way Mob or other espers can. The other bugs would just live among the colony and represent ordinary people, such as Tome being a weevil, or Tsubomi being a longhorn beetle.

The body improvement club would totally be full of stag and rhino beetles. Mushashi Goda would be a giant stag beetle, Hideki Yamamura an ox beetle, Hiroshi Kumagawa an eastern hercules beetle, Jun Sagawa a western hercules beetle, Ryohei Shimura a hercules beetle (not western or eastern), and Tenga Onigawara a coconut palm beetle. All based on their hair color/style :]

As a bonus, I'll also include the rest of the telepathy club: Haruto Kijabayashi is a green soldier/stink bug or green tiger beetle, Mameta Inukawa is a cream-spot ladybird or maybe a blonde ducky isopod or even a golden tortoise beetle, Momozo Takenaka would be a pavement ant or a spider ant (Leptomyrmex), and Shirihiko Saruta would be a horned passalus beetle.

Double bonus, Ichi Mezato would be a glasswing butterfly and Dozen Roshuto would be another ant mimic like reigen, although I want to make him something other than a spider like the "Dulichius inflatus" species of beetle or maybe the "Euderces picipes or even "Myrmecoris gracilis" species of bugs (none have common names).

I think it's a passalus beetle? friend shaped

[soraldiguess]

Yeah googling stuff especially in this modern age is horrible, but in terms of bugs. A wanna be Entomologist here, but really, just a bug guy. If you are looking for a particular bug that you have found, then most states have independantly run websites by entomolgists that are like catalogues of insects in an area. Not just American states too, there is one for the Australian state I am in which I use a lot. But like I had a friend from NY post an image of a beetle and was like, I think it is a dung beetle and I saw it and went, that doesn’t look like a scarab, so I sound some NY bug directory and like spent a solid 40 mins, but I found the exact beetle that they found (it wasn’t a scarab, a Horned Passalus Beetle) And if that still fails, I don’t normally like to reccomend reddit, but r/whatsthisbug is actually really good for that. Or just for people like me that wanna see cute bugs that people post But yeah genuine shoutouts to all the bug people that not only have all this info on bugs online for free, but also will just help others find certain bugs and tell eachother if they are a problem (either danger wise or pest wise) or safe and cool

google search: bug with orange stripes on it

results: do animals like oranges? here's a list of 10 commonly used bugs in the world. do orange makes stripes go faster? how to get rid of bugs easy pest control. buy oranges cheap

@phylloxeroidea submitted: horned passalus beetle, also called betsy beetle and patent leather beetle!! they’re called patent leather beetles bc their elytra is sososo shiny and betsy beetle is derived from bess beetle which is from the french “baiser” because they make wet fat smoochy sounds when the stridulate.

Fun facts for a fun friend!

[dufferpuffer]

Beetles have a heart of sorts, they just don't have veins - more like... goop densities. Their heart is in the front of their body and beats the thin blood goop so it swooshes all around the denser organ goop. Apparently 'horned passalus beetles' have a heartrate of 63bpm. I have no idea how that'd feel.

Can't get over how part of becoming an Animagus is feeling two heartbeats in your body for a period of time - one an animals. James, 40bmp: Hey guys, can you feel your heartbeats yet? Mine's like... thadump... thadump... thadump... Sirius, 60bmp: Oh yeah - mines like 'thump - thump - thump' Peter, experiencing 350bmp resting heartrate:

Bug diary

An odontotaenius disjunctus (horned passalus beetle) just came through my window. They make low hissing sounds when annoyed, but they don't bite (they are friendly bugs). It was released in nature after some pics :-)
