Dendrobium beetle (Stethopachys formosa)! Always happy to see these little things, they're so bright and cheerful!

Still waiting on confirmation to what this cave beetle is, but if it is what we think it is, 'tis a new site! And maybe a bit of a range extension? Or range confirmation? Essentially, the location is on the edge or right off the edge of the range...one of those things.

People still care about even the little critters. Don't let governments - anywhere - fool you as to what the actual people want. Most people are genuine, helpful, kind, and caring. We want the world to be a better place for everyone! ❤️
