I had never seen that kind of beetle before. They look cool though. The female's armor and spikes look perfect for defense from the predators

[Leto]

How incredibly beautiful. I only saw this once before in a video, and they are gorgeous.

Quick thing to note, when we talk prehistoric in references to insects, normally the Carboniferious comes to mind, but this linage is actually from the middle- late Cretaceous. Still ancient and really old, but when refrencing other groups of insects, these guys are relatively new.

Fun fact: the trilobite beetle might be the Inspiration for the ice worm in the alien survival game “Subnautica: Below zero”

I bet somewhere in South East Asia cuisine you can get a prehistoric plate with this along with mantis shrimp, armored catfish, horse shoe crab and some scorpions dipped in chicken powder to taste 😂

[Doyledeclan]

I thought that was a something 3D printed

[dmschoice]

Basically the insect version of an axolotl...

[McQueen]

😮 and I bet you that millions of years ago, those were, like six times bigger than it is now ... cuz plant life was abundance and oxygen

[bubbleslovebird]

This is new. Never seen them before.🥰

[Warmaka]

Remember that guy who freaked out about finding one as if it was never found before? And here we have a guy casually holding a dozen xD

[LawrenceSaludaga]

We have in the Philippines in mountain under a coconut shell
