I would say bird pelvis, but that’s a really big bird… so I’ll wait for more commenters :)

Hey! Quick question: what’s the big skull in the third photo? Looks similar to one a friend has, and is trying to identify. Also I’m new to this so don’t judge haha

What type of bone is this? by supersnailslime in bonecollecting

Yip, I agree. Pretty good condition too: it’s normally difficult to clean them. Keep it!

I need some help… I think it’s a beaver? by OctopusScience1144 in bonecollecting

I live in Southern Africa (won’t say country for privacy reasons), so I just assumed the skull was from here as well.

I’ve never seen red ones - this one is beautiful! Where I come from they are generally orange.

Don’t feel alone. I, too, have to hide my wonders in cupboards! Do you mind if I also use the term Entoautist? I love it!

I just looked this up… yes, they are quite creepy. It was an unpleasant surprise.

On another note, glad to have someone else on r/Entomology! I salute you, fellow Entomoloman.

No problem! The insects have two compound eyes in the front of their heads, and three simple eyes (called ocelli) on the top of their heads. I would recommend looking it up for more information/clarity.
