Short story: This is a spider beetle struggling in a drop of honey. Please view larger and help me figure out what those lines are around its back leg. Honey waves?
Long story: Actually, the long story makes me look like an idiot, so I'll just keep to the short one. It didn't die, but I realized too late that it deserved to.
I'm currently situated in Victoria, having previously lived in Beijing, Halifax, Chilliwack, Calgary, Vancouver and growing up in Northwestern Ontario. My aim with photography is...
@pwallis ~ No bite...just a beetle that looks like a spider. But when I was online ID'ing it as a 'pantry pest', it escaped. Off to chew on some of my grains, I guess! It does look thumbprinty.
@lauracaseyfoss ~ That would be cool if I got a photo of vibrations, but that does make more sense than waves. The beetle was too small to be making rock-the-boat waves.
