Description
One of the weirdest arthropod i've seen
Body size about 2 inches. Taken at night in Singapore forest.Quote from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dulitico…
Duliticola is a genus of beetles of the family Lycidae . It is named after Mount Dulit in Borneo . The females stay in the larval form and are about 40–80 mm in length. They have a flat dark body with large scales over the head, resembling trilobites , hence the informal names "Trilobite beetle", "Trilobite larva" or "Sumatran Trilobite larva". The males are much smaller, 8–9 mm, with a beetle-like appearance. Most are found in tropical rainforests, notably in India and South-east Asia.
