Not posed.
I did not move this beetle from the sheet or on the sheet. Unless they are specimens, I photo them as they are.

Browsing thru the photos,
I notice this is the case in a number of them. It appears many of these are not specimens. I hate to guess at why this species is not consistent.

re: inconsistent
a characteristic stance can be helpful for ID
the antennae look pretty delicate--can they fold them in somewhere?
