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.
Yes . Not very nice.They bring their tails up like scorpions too
Mice capture
Thanks for comments Beryl, and Rolf who's short tale about two in a jar is quite horrific.
Nasty little 'devils' ehhhh!
Pete.
I did that with two spiders once. I was just a kid (never a little girl :D) Well one spider killed the other almost instantly
Wildlife shows no mercy ever, and only cares for its own always. Thats my 'wildlfe' motto Beryl.

To right. I was a horror . I used to flick one spider into another web. :-rolling
