Awesome find Bill, slightly unfortunate name, even if your are a beetle.

Looks like an ancient structure from temples..Superb spotting Beaker :)

These are like the Bolbonota Treehoppers that imitate Lepideopteran droppings. :)) So neat. I hope I find one one, of these days.

Thanks Lauren:) This is the first time I have spotted one of these. At first I thought it was a rock or a small nodule of dirt.
