As mentioned in the previous post, there was a small creature on one of the giant flowers. The question is, what is it? Well, I still have not come up with an answer. However, I had spotted a few of these insects in India.

There are now two possibilities. One is that it is a globally-endangered trilobite beetle, which is mostly found only in dense forests. The second is that it is just a firefly larva. However, I have not been able to confirm what it is beacuse of one reason to each possibilities. The reason that it may not be a Trilobite Beetle is because it is extremely rare, and I had found over 5 of these in just a month. Reason to why it may not be a firefly larva is because these were all active in the day.

Anyway, for now I'm just calling it 'Unknown Beetle'. I may need more help from experts to identify this insect. Anyway, here's one more shot of the beetle. This was the first and the smallest one I saw. It was together with a snail!
