Fuzzy Shoulder Pads are So Hot Right Now

Back to the bugs!

Violet found this guy on the outside stairs at the Muskoka cottage, and thought it looked like a bee. I'm pretty sure it's some sort of scarab beetle or hairy scavenger beetle. I have not had luck specifically identifying it yet. It was about the size of a dime or smaller.

I do dig the superfly fuzzy shoulder armor, and I think the texture of the shell-like wings is pretty cool, see below. Good colors and nice Turtle Wax too.


Below is a slightly more artsy shot showing some diffraction or chromatic aberration from my janky lens setup. I am intrigued by the beetle's fancy antennae.

Send me your suggestions for something tiny that you'd like to see big.
