And tell everyone about the red border of the leaf-eater - was there a boy?

2 omar:
Sorry that I'm slowing down at the expense of the border - unfortunately, I didn't visit the forum in those days and didn't read the messages. I post fragments of leaf beetles, cropped 1:1, from the original 6MP images.
The beetle is not available, but judging by the photo, it is more likely that it is still a border, because in all three images taken from different angles, a yellowish stripe is clearly visible - it is unlikely that in all three cases the light would surprisingly mark the same fragment of elytra in the same way.
If the extension of the border on the back of the elytra (marked in red) is normal, if it should be, then it is definitely a border. And if this extension should not be, then it is obvious that this is how the light falls - at least in the back.
About the leaf beetle, I can also add that I saw two beetles, both sitting on the lower side of the rocks, on a rocky slope, the height of the n. o. m.is about 700m.

2 Mylabris:
I attach the head of a dead eater, found on the duplicate frame. It seems really elongated.
"epipleura pronotum" Hmm... Unfortunately I don't know what it is:- (
The bug is not available, the only thing I can do is post a slightly larger image.
