Interesting Beetles Emerging with rains.
Category: Mammals | Date: May 01 2007 | By: tumaren
Some great insects have been emerging recently with the beginning of our rains. This is a long-horned beetle that is likely a borer as an immature. I suspect its host is an Acacia species:
The following is a Weevil I beleive (but its shape is also reminiscent of a Tenebrionid Beetle) . There are hundreds around these days:

I LOVE INSECTS AND I LOVE THESE BEAUTIFUL BIG PHOTOS! fascinating. Stag beetles are my favorite - i collect bits and bobs from all over the world. brilliant. thank you. Simona, UK

These photos make the case that if bugs were simply (much) bigger, everyone would pay a lot more attention to them. Imagine a goat-sized weevil rummaging around in the garden.
Keep them coming…

Fortunately for us we have only Elephants, Buffalo and Large cats to reckon with. Unsure if my can of DOOM (RAID for Americans) would be able to handle a goat sized Weevil. Cheers, Jamie

Sure, maybe I’ve got myself a summer job in the American Midwest researching pollination by Hawk-moths. But let me tell you: You win. These bugs are so much cooler than mine. And they’re in Africa. Maybe you want to trade jobs with me? You could hang out with the famous Dr. Peter Raven…
…No, I didnt think so.

Scott, Hawk-moths are fascinating and congratulations on getting some work studying them. Keep at it and you could eventually be transfered to Kenya to study the H-moths that pollinate all the sanseveria that grows on Tumaren. cheers, Jamie
