Mimic Beetle

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

“The Mimic Beetles seldom exceed one-third of an inch in length, and are of very solid consistence, their elytra being so hard that the pin of the entomologist is with difficulty made to enter. They are somewhat square in form, with the upper surface highly polished, feeding chiefly on putrid substances and found in great abundance in spring on the dung of oxen and horses.” — Encyclopedia Britanica, 1893
