    Default Beetle

    Spotted this today and had to take a pic of it.

    Apparently its a Devil's Coach-Horse, common as I understand. Some don't like the little 'devil' because it can raise its tail and has large jaws which tend to scare some people.

    They are vicious little beetles, I remember when a youngster, I caught two of them and kept them in a jar. Within a day, one had killed and eaten the other.

    Thanks for comments Beryl, and Rolf who's short tale about two in a jar is quite horrific.
