A very interesting bug. Aside from the colouration it has fuzz on part of its antennae, and horns/ spikes on its back. Another photo from the side in comments.

Interesting! Do you know what bug it is? Where are you located, btw?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Aristobia horridula, a common tuft bearing longhorn beetle. OP is probably from east Asia.

I have no idea, would love to know though. Lived here for years and this is the only one I have seen. Southwest Cambodia, near Sihanoukville. Sorry, should have added that before.

Another user named it in a comment thread, but I used Google Lens to pull up a link.
