At my current rate of once-a-week Beetle Blogging, I’ll need 10,000 years to cover every living species.
Wish me luck.

Hummmmm. I’m not sure if you and I will be around for another 10,000 years. Perhaps you should consider twice per week beetle posts and cut it down to 5,000.
Nice shot of the scarab.
That’s one way to defer death.
10,000 years? I don’t think I’m going to last that long! 🙂
