Excellent species guide. The anatomical guide is very helpful generally (there are some ventral bits and pieces that don't highlight/describe though, eg the leg segment between the femora and the tarsi). It would be great if the Golden Scarab (Lamprima aurata) could be added as a friendly imposter as these are widely called "Christmas beetles" in Melbourne. Finally, please please please do a version of this for terrestrial isopods!

Would be great to be able to filter by distribution, and to view a list of 'ticked' beetles outside of the gallery view

Great little app, but would be helpful to be able to filter by distribution though.
