nice photos defaced by nasty watermarks
the site focuses on showy, exotic things of the kind that are traded by dealers and end up showcased on parlor walls :/
the resource covers a negligible percentage of beetle families, uses outdated classification, offers very little information, has no relevance to the nearctic fauna, and at this point cannot be recommended for purposes other than entertainment
