Shit happens
A Queensland camper has made a momentous scientific discovery after taking a closer look at a hairy poo.Entomologist James Tweed was chilling out in the lush rainforest that sits behind the Gold Coast's busy beaches a while back.
As he wandered off to clean his teeth, his gaze fell upon what he thought was a blob of bird poo, turning furry with mould in the humidity.
But it turned out to be Australia's newest creepy-crawly – a longhorn beetle so distinct from its relatives that it's not just a new species, but a whole new genus.
