Oh WOW!! What terrific beetles Mingfei!! The top one looks almost like a Tiger Beetle with those colours and seems to have very large eyes too.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice one (the 2nd picture doesn't show up for me for some reason). Anyway, it's a genus of longhorned beetle that I don't have in my collection.

You photographs are beautiful. I truly enjoyed looking through your blog. What wonderful species of insects and flowers. Loved it!

ReplyDeleteSo that means thr tiger beetles in your place is quite different from ours. In my opinion, the long-horned beetle's stripes looks extremely like a sunflower seed.
