Description
Closer [link][link]
Duliticola is a genus of beetles of the family Lycidae. It is named after Mount Dulit in Borneo. The females stay in the larval form and are about 40β80 mm in length. They have a flat dark body with large scales over the head, resembling trilobites, hence the informal names "Trilobite beetle", "Trilobite larva" or "Sumatran Trilobite larva". The males are much smaller, 8β9 mm, with a beetle-like appearance. Most are found in tropical rainforests, notably in India and South-east Asia.

We have the most standard bugs where I live, this guy is really something else. It's got such an interesting little face and body structure, so clear a shot, too. I've never seen anything like it. You're fortunate to be able to see and share things like this.
