OOPS my bug is misidentified Glyptina cyanipennis (Crotch) Achtung! Contains Low Humor

The beetle depicted is Asphaera lustrans, not Glyptina cyanipennis (Crotch). Oh my goodness. The below is fairly embarrassing, given the misidentification. Crumby should probably delete it. But he won't.

Correct. The following has a bunch of vulgarity that most shall find annoying.

What could be more fun than nature? I mean, really. Nature is swell because of Her almost infinite capacity for surprise, delight or amusement. But then, pile on the scientific nomenclature. Yes, with the naming conventions or guidelines piled on top of nature, you get the icing on the cake, the cherry on top, the cat’s meow, the piece de resistance, the lace petticoat, the rhinestone prophylactic, etc.

This is not a very good picture. But it’s good enough to allow for an identification of the leaf beetle to species. And of course the species name includes p-e-n-n-i-s. Now normally, in fact practically never, does Crumby include the authority for the scientific name. It’s too much trouble. However, in this case, Crumby is making an exception. Huh-huh.

Way to go Dr. Crotch! Unfortunately, Dr. Crotch was struck down by TB while still in his prime.
