Uncertain, but it appears to have some characteristics of a hemipteran insect of the subfamily Coreinae...

Actually this appears to me to be a species of Spider Beetle (Ptinidae). Although, there are some 70 genera/600+ species they are quite small and are largely overlooked by even avid beetle. enthusiasts

Sadly, this is the best-quality photo I have of it. The bug is definitely small (the surface it sits on - is an iron fence). I was mesmerized by the size of its whiskers though, they looked massive Thank you! It definitely looks a bit like Spider Beetle just in vibrant red and orange colors

Oh - if it is very small, then yes, it could indeed be a spider beetle.spark.to.a.flame wrote: ↑Sat Jul 15, 2023 8:38 pm Sadly, this is the best-quality photo I have of it.
