  2. He was amazing, he was just there beside the path. There's me orchid hunting and there he was instead. I am sure I have never seen it before. It is a bloody nosed beetle I think, which when attacked secretes red foul tasting ooze from its nose. Hence its name. It was concentrating on chewing the cleavers leaves and ignored me. Was please to find him.
