Stenocara dentata, the long-legged darkling beetle, is an insect of darkling beetle family found in southern Africa.

The beetle stands in a head down posture on sand dunes to catch the morning mist which collects in drops on its body and slides into its mouth.

[1] It is large enough to crawl out of the trap of the plant, Hydnora africana, unlike smaller beetles which remain trapped for several days.
