Of course it’s a Rhinoceros Beetle – I mean, look at it!! So much for inspired guesswork 😂 Thanks again, that was great fun.

I think that a unicorn beetle would be a splendid thing though.
Gutted! Well done Rosalind.
I think I’m going to extend the deadline for the next one. A day and a bit isn’t really very long for people to respond.
I love your quizzes and always learn something, just never manage to post any answers before the deadline!
I am seriously thinking that I should give people a week to get their answers in, what do you think?
