i will get the photos sorted soon

but 6mm long ,insect ,probably a beetle ,fakes dead when pinched in a primates opposable thumb and finger as stealth wasnt a strong point with that one .

i noticed the nip ,and after a short struggle i took a few snaps and sent it back to where it can munch on my garden vermin

it had a good nip for the size of it and the "quite robust ,if grabbed ,plays dead and looks like grit "is well clever .

i dont know what they are but i like em ,so far

Colloquially know as the "tomorrow you're dead" beetle.

Ninja Death Nip Beetle? I like the pic of it walking up an ink-lined plane.

It's on a big white bit. Has it psychically sucked up all the ink to make its soul even darker?

It's considering writing a review on dpack and whether to recommend him to his chums for dining upon.
