The entomologists I work with all want to find a Dung Beetle to name after Trump. I actually shot this specimen on Nov. 8, but I have not looked at it again since Nov. 9.
Unfortunatly, this beetle already has a name.
Pseudopityophthorus pubipennis males have an interesting frons. This is a very small bark beetle (the head is 0.5mm wide), in Family Curculionidae (Weevils), Sub-family Solytidae (Bark Beetles). Common name: Western Oak Bark Beetle. This species spreads the Foamy Bark Canker, a disease affecting oak trees in California caused by the fungus Geosmithia pallida.
In the closer view you can see that each setal filament is quite complex.
