Metoecus paradoxus
Hi, thanks for your recent additions to the Metoecus paradoxus page. I've Assumed good faith for these edits. Unfortunately, I've removed the recent addition again, because the beetle in that video used as a reference isn't the same species - it has elongated, rounded elytra and much, much larger antennae than the subject of this Wikipedia article. You can see that the body colouration is entirely different too: the one in the video has a wholly red thorax, whereas M. paradoxus has a black thorax with slight orange margins. I'd suggest that the one in the video is some sort of cardinal beetle (See: Pyrochroidae).Zakhx150 (talk) 14:55, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
