There were at least of 6 of them this day on an overlook across from Summitville Mine. Set up the GoPro since they were curious and approaching me, and got this great photo and video when they were messing with the camera. One of the my favorite critter encounters in two years of traveling.
what bug is this
like a beetle lady bug
in a geodome
Casing emerged from a seed pod of Caesalpinia pulcherrima
For the little "grub" on the left. The adult on the right has its own observation here: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/3360297
These are photos of many individuals found on the same fungus (last photo)
These are eggs of some sort.
Any ideas?
My husband thinks they may be from some amphibious animal?
They are on dry land now, but we had storms last night and they may have been laid in a puddle that has now dried.
Found in an Aphaenogaster colony under bark.
