Trilobite beetle
Trilobite bettles are a mysterious and prehestoric looking genus of beetles. Actually the big impressive forms like this one are all either larvae or adult females. The males remain tiny and look like a "normal" beetle with wings to fly, sightings of these seem to be extremely rare and can only be achieved by observing females and waiting until a male appears.
