My entry to the phone photography contest # 35. [En-Es] Family Mordellidae
My first encounter with this rare insect occurred three years ago.
Mi primer encuentro con este raro insecto ocurri贸 hace tres a帽os.
It posed for a few seconds in my hand and, after taking photos, I requested information via the Internet to identify it.
Pos贸 unos segundos en mi mano y, despu茅s de tomarle fotos solicit茅 informaci贸n v铆a Internet para identificarlo.
Despite his appearance, he seemed harmless but the search results led to articles written in unknown characters.
A pesar de su aspecto parec铆a inofensivo pero los resultados de b煤squeda conduc铆an a articulos escritos en caracteres desconocidos.
I gave up on further investigation and the photos were saved in my backups.
Renunci茅 a seguir investigando y las fotos quedaron guardadas en mis copias de seguridad.
A few days ago I saw it again on the inflorescences of some pigweed plants and took some more photos before it flew away.
Hace d铆as lo volvi a ver sobre las inflorescencias de unas plantas de bledo y tom茅 otras fotos antes de que se fuera volando.
This time I did find an identification in Spanish. It is a beetle of the family Mordellidae.
Esta vez si encontr茅 una identificaci贸n en espa帽ol. Es un cole贸ptero de la familia Mordellidae.
The insects of this family have a peculiar way of jumping, perhaps that is where their name comes from, which means "rolling flower beetles."
Los insectos de esta familia tienen una forma peculiar de saltar, tal vez de alli viene su nombre, el cual significa "escarabajos de flores que dan volteretas".
