Devil's coach horse beetle

Damp environments such as gardens, woodlands, and under stones or leaf litter

Carnivorous predator; feeds on invertebrates like slugs, snails, worms, and woodlice

Nocturnal hunter; when threatened, it raises its abdomen like a scorpion and can emit a foul-smelling substance from its tail glands

Benefits the ecosystem by controlling garden pests; lacks venom but can deliver a painful bite if handled
