Zographus oculator, the Orange-eyed Long-horn Beetle, is a species of flat-faced longhorn beetles belonging to the family Cerambycidae.
Zographus oculator can reach a body length of 25–35 millimetres (0.98–1.38 in). The basic colour is black, with a transverse median band and large yellow orange-centred pair of eye-like spots (hence the Latin name oculator, from the Latin word oculus, meaning eye) located at the base, towards the tips and at the sides of elytra. These beetles show narrow yellow lines across the head and the thorax, two large rounded tubercles at the sides of the thorax and tiny wrinkles on the elytra.
This species can be found in Namibia and South Africa.

Oiceoptoma noveboracense is a member of the family Silphidae, or carrion beetles, which feed on decaying organic matter such as dead animals. Its common name is the margined carrion beetle, from the orange-red margins on the pronotum, which are helpful when identifying this species. The larva is typically light brown to red and also has vertical ridges on its thorax like the adult. This diurnal beetle can be found mainly in the spring into the fall, and it has a strong preference towards a deciduous forest habitat. The primary forensic importance of this beetle is its ability to use the succession of insect fauna to provide confirmation of postmortem intervals.
