Newly Discovered Australian Beetle Almost Mistaken For Bird Poo
//What's red, black, and hairy all over? A new species of bug discovered in Australia, dubbed by some as a "punk beetle" for its shaggy white locks.
A Queensland researcher spotted the fluffy specimen by chance while camping and initially mistook it for bird poo.
"It's very unique. There are not many insects out there that have that trait," James Tweed told the BBC.
The national science agency CSIRO has since confirmed it's an entirely new family of longhorn beetle.//

No question - just for interest. Lucky he's only 1cm long. Imagine a big version!
