Some Fuller rose beetles showed up on the feathery cassia looking very much like rodents of unusual size. Why in the name of analogous morphology should Pantomorus crevinus, a flightless beetle that reproduces parthogenically and sometimes turns the foliage of our shrubbery into a tattered mess but usually is not much of a bother, have a face like Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris, a 140 pound semi-aquatic rodent sometimes referred to as Master of the Grasses and apparently cherished by minor zookeepers worldwide?
