A dark, elongated beetle rests stationary on a moss-covered tree trunk in New Serchhip, India. The beetle, approximately 3-4 centimeters in length, presents a black, somewhat iridescent, and faintly ridged dorsal surface with visible reddish-brown leg segments. It is positioned diagonally across a thick, vibrant green moss layer adhering to the textured wood surface. In the lower left quadrant of the frame, several fallen brown leaves and a single broad green leaf are visible, indicative of a forest floor environment. No human subjects or interactions are present.
