Coleoptera- Beetles

Specimen CLP-01
Size: 1 cm body length, 1 cm wingspan

Close-ups:

Very interesting spread elytra (hard forewings covering actual wing) on this specimen.



Specimen CLP-02
Size: 1.1 cm


I am not totally sure that this is a beetle. The main question is whether the wing area is a the elytra or wing patterns (which beetles usually don't have).




Specimen CLP-03
Size: .8 cm body length


Another interesting probably Coleoptera.





Specimen CLP-04
Size: 1.4 cm


This one is quite a large beetle with detailed carbon preservation of the carapace.



Specimen CLP-05
Size: .5 cm

On this specimen you can see the elytra and the actual wings. This is a scattered beetle on the a larger piece that really has nothing to do with beetles.

CLP-06:


A decent beetle and you can clearly see the elytra as well as the actual wings themselves.

CLP-07: Possible internal parasites


Here's an interesting beetle, although I'm not 100% positive that it's a beetle, I do have a suspicion that it may be an assassin bug. There's a squiggly thing inside that may be an internal parasite.

CLP-08:


Beetle with a snout nose.

X-13: Coleoptera


Another beetle, possibly aquatic?

X-15: Coleoptera


Another beetle, with short straight antanae.
