@alexwild A beautiful beetle!
But - what is with the tiny legs (or leg-like appendages??) beneath its mandibles? Prey item, or something else?
@alexwild now I'm thinking they're actually the beetle's other two pairs of oral appendages?
@llewelly Yeah, those are the beetle's own palps
@alexwild thank you.
