The Internet says it’s an oil beetle. I’ve never seen one of those before.
This is almost too interesting
Cool find, thanks for sharing!
Isn’t it a queen ant with crapy image compression/enhancements? If I remember correctly beetles have the torax fusioned with the abdomen…
Let me educate myself, beetles have them differentiated… though I think abdomen had hardened wings or alike to be a beetle… I am open for reeducation about these details
Look up Meloe violaceus
Nice catch!
is the image edited ? looks like it , can you post original ?
That looks like auto sharpening that a lot of modern phone cameras do which messes up zoomed images like this. Happens with my phone camera too it’s really annoying

Phone isn’t letting me add the raw image directly, but that link goes to it.
thanks

One of the few beetles that can actually kill a human.
It looks tike some ant but with big butt
Oh my God, Becky. Look at her butt!
This looks like a painting
Looking at that thing I would have assumed it’s a wasp. Weird beetle.
This is the greatest news I’ve heard all day!
Is it that ass-blaster one?
