Critter of the Week: Chatham Islands' pleasing fungus beetle

From the collecton Critter of the Week

This week's critter is 'A pleasing fungus beetle', a secretive and endangered beetle from Rangiauria in the Chatham Islands. We don't know much about the pleasing fungus beetle, Cryptodacne rangiauria, except that it lives quietly out of sight under tree bark, munching on fungi.
