[QUOTE="jedishrfu, post: 6408266, member: 376845"] It's curious you mention the taxonomy confusion. I think that's true in a lot of subjects and even in everyday life where we struggle to organize our papers and photos. I've given up on any kind of organization beyond a timestream. As more often than not we think in terms of when something occurred in order to find it to the year and month. In computing, Unix provided a tentative solution in the form of folders and links which allows the same file to be in more than one place at once allowing different taxonomy trees with the file in both. In the case of the beetle, it's likely that it was placed in one genus and then moved as more details emerged about its attributes and features. Here's the detailed discussion on the name change: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/270892280_Re-evaluation_of_the_genera_Phloeodes_Noserus_and_Nosoderma_Coleoptera_Zopheridae_with_description_of_a_new_species_of_Nosoderma_from_northern_Mexico and here's some BAE news on their use of the beetle armor: [URL]https://www.engineering.com/DesignerEdge/DesignerEdgeArticles/ArticleID/13763/Bendable-Titanium-Suspension-Inspired-by-Insects.aspx[/URL] [/QUOTE]
