When you look at this picture what do you see?
At first, a scientist in Australia thought they'd seen a splatter of bird poo.
But it turns out it's a new species of beetle.
Queensland researcher James Tweed spotted the fluffy bug while camping.
He told the BBC that its shaggy white locks are "very unique. There are not many insects out there that have that trait."
Well, I can certainly see how they'd get mixed up... perhaps this is just the beetle's way of camouflaging itself
!
Although, part of me wonders whether they might get cleaned up by people who don't realise that they're beetles
?
