I might very well have a new favourite insect species aesthetic-wise, wanna take a curious look? It won't bite I promise ;)

I absolutely forgot I had a previous favourite rove beetle species! I even proclaimed it as such "officially" to many friends

You must be a joy to be around in art museums.
that's it, we're doing a limited series podcast, you and iNow we come to the species that genuinely caught my interest recently. Even among rove beetles this one is quite interesting.
He is a surfer!
No really it occupies beaches and sandy coastal areas and feeds on whatever is unfortunate enough to be in the open at night.
This beetle can't fly but still has his iconic elytra although drastically reduced and I may add quite cute now
The colouration is of course an adaptation for blending in with the sand and the body is flat and flexible to allow for greater mobility when hunting or digging.
