reminder that NPD and ASPD aren't "bad person disorder" and you shouldn't be dicks to random people because you think you're somehow superior for not being traumatized as a kid in a way that developed that way
Ignelater havanensis, a large bioluminescent click beetle.
as if elaterids weren’t already fancy enough with their click mechanism, the tribe Pyrophorini have light-producing patches which glow brighter than most fireflies! their larvae are predatory and the adults eat fruit. one of the best neotropical beetles in my opinion… the US gets just a handful of species in Florida and Texas
one of the big gals glowing! almost enough to read by in a dark room, the video doesn’t do her justice
