The "horned" creature above is a click beetle (Anostirus purpureus). It belongs to the Elateridae family of insects and can be found in Hungary. Its unique antennae, which resemble reindeer antlers, are the beetle's primarily organs of smell. The beetle can also use its antennae to feel around its environment.
