Pie-dish beetles (Helea spp.) are so cool. They use their exaggerated flanges a bit like a shield to fend off predators. We see lots of them in the mallee #Coleoptera #WildOz

They have a sun roof for navigating by stars (cf. scarabaeids with hats).

That’s amazing! I must go to Australia someday to see all these amazing insects for myself.
