BEETLES

Records with a date and a place

The Three-horned Rhinoceros Beetle — Chalcosoma, Kampung Sayap, Kota Belud, 25 December 2022

The jewel beetle with one wing — Tawau River, opposite Pasar Semarak, 26 June 2011

A jewel beetle (Buprestidae) that could not fly, because the whole left side of its flight equipment — wing case and hindwing together — was gone.

A weevil with a straight nose — River Esplanade, Bandar Sri Indah, 7 June 2014

A straight-snouted weevil (Brentidae): a snout, but straight bead-like antennae instead of the elbowed ones of ordinary weevils. Beside the Babanga Stream, which has since dried up.

The Trilobite Beetle — Tawau River, 2010 (filed under no wings, because the female never grows any)
