| Caltrop Beetle
|
| Habitat: |
|
| Description: |
|
| Notes: | This palm-sized insect can be found exclusively in deep jungles, and hopefully not with bare feet. Its hardened carapace, much like its namesake, is a sharpened wedge pointing upward. When threatened, this beetle will withdraw its legs beneath itself presenting only the sharp projection. After one molting, this single spine may be ringed with many smaller ones for greater protection.
