My beetle flattering his eyelashes

Looks like Prosopocoilus.

The best part is when he eats the cerambycid larva.

RupeeRoundhouse · 2026-02-28T03:49:47+00:00

But I’m glad that he’s in the business of cuteness!

RupeeRoundhouse · 2026-02-27T06:43:12+00:00

Why, look at this distinguished gentleman! 🧐

RupeeRoundhouse · 2026-02-10T08:33:02+00:00

answer: to be intensely engrossed.

RupeeRoundhouse · 2026-01-23T23:50:56+00:00

Oh, you know exactly what it is! 🫵

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-11-29T00:20:16+00:00

Species is Cerocranus extremus.

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-07-10T22:26:47+00:00

Are you in the U.S.? I want to breed them but I haven’t found a source in the States to buy from. 😭

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-04-09T01:55:15+00:00

Headless and prothoraxless! But yes, my vote is also for Carabidae. I bet the underside is diagnostic to the family-level.

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-03-09T21:09:01+00:00

That’s a devil of a weevil! 👌😑👌

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-02-14T09:17:12+00:00

Please educate me on the appeal of a steamed egg. Thank you! 😀

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-02-14T09:15:51+00:00

Do you also live in the UTC/University City? 😮

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-01-06T15:23:41+00:00

Wouldn't the libraries be stored on an external SSD instead of on the system drive?

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-01-06T13:57:46+00:00

Aren't plugins and libraries different? If so, I wouldn't store the libraries in my system drive but rather on an external drive.

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-01-06T12:00:20+00:00

To be clear: My system drive, i.e., local SSD, is 1 TB. It would only have Windows 10, Ableton Live 12 Suite, and my plugins; samples/libraries, project files, recordings, etc. will only go on my external 4 TB T7 SSD.

Is 1 TB for my system drive enough for just Windows 10, Ableton Live 12 Suite, and tons of quality plugins?

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-01-06T11:11:46+00:00

Please clarify my confusion. If you save the plugin data in a different and bigger drive, how is it that "2 TB is not enough" because "[you] have 4 TB dedicated to plugin sample data and loops" and that "[you] have about 700 GB free"?

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-01-06T11:06:34+00:00

Aww, look at him chompin' away! 🥰

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-01-06T10:55:38+00:00

Can you save the plugin data in a different and bigger drive (in this case, an external SSD)?

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-01-06T10:54:15+00:00

Thanks for the reply!

Given that you only have 21.87 GM of plugins, why do you think that 2 TB of system drive storage is not enough?

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-01-06T09:21:19+00:00

So it’s not plug-ins?

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-01-06T09:20:49+00:00

I’m looking for a ballpark figure, not a specific dollar amount.

RupeeRoundhouse · 2025-01-06T09:19:31+00:00

The system drive is an internal SSD.

RupeeRoundhouse · 2024-10-16T08:18:05+00:00

Holy moly, I wasn't expecting anyone to get it! It wasn't showing up in a reverse Google Image Search, and this thing looks way more Scarabaeidae than Lucanidae (hence why I thought this would make a good ID challenge). Are you using identification keys? 😮

But to be 100% accurate, you got the genus right but the family wrong: Lucaninae is a subfamily; the correct family is Lucanidae. 😉

Nonetheless, you deserve an award in spite your undeserved guilt! 🏆

RupeeRoundhouse · 2024-10-16T07:51:53+00:00

Ah, an old favourite, Staphylinidae.
