Beth’s Bug Blog — Bug of the Week

The peacock spider is proof that good things come in small, dazzling packages. These pint-sized performers are nature’s way of showing us that even the tiniest creatures can put on the biggest shows.

Ever heard of a bug that looks like it time-traveled from the Jurassic era? Meet Platerodrilus, aka the trilobite beetle, a bizarre insect found in Southeast Asia’s rainforests. While the males look like typical beetles, the females steal the show with their flat, segmented bodies that resemble ancient trilobites.

So much mating to do, so little time...
