Fantastic disguise (mimicry).
"The new beetle species (Austrospirachtha carrijoi)—found beneath the soil in Australia’s Northern Territory—emulates a termite by enlarging its abdomen, a phenomenon known as physogastry. Evolution has reshaped this body part into a highly realistic replica of a termite (as seen above), head and all, which rides on top of the rest of the beetle’s body."

Glipa malaccana, a Tumbling Flower Beetle, spotted at Dairy Farm Nature Park, Singapore, on 1 Sept 2023. A small beetle, I usually find it difficult to approach to get close-up shots. But not this time.
This family of beetles get its name from the irregular motion it makes to escape predators, aided by their pointy abdominal tip.

#Alpenbock, lat. Rosalia alpina, eine der bekanntesten Käferarten. Bei uns trotz des Schutzes seit 1936 kaum noch zu finden, so in Bayern auf der Roten Liste in der Kategorie "2 stark gefährdet" geführt. Auf der schwäbischen Alb gibt es noch vereinzelte Vorkommen. Europaweit nach FFH-Richtlinie geschützt.
Fotografiert am Qafa e Valbonës in Albanien.
