Violin beetle!!! First time seeing one for bear with me for posting so many shots of this rare beauty:)

Found it in Maliau Basin.

From wiki:

There are four species.

Mormolyce hagenbachi Westwood, 1862 — Malaysia

Did you pick up the same bug and place them on different backgrounds?

I don't know, but it just sounds funny to me for nature shots.

I think the photos need some saturation and/or contrast bump to help them pop more.
 
Very cool

Thanks for looking and commenting.
