Asbolus verrucosus

Species of beetle

Asbolus verrucosus (LeConte, 1852), also known as the desert ironclad beetle or blue death feigning beetle, is a species of darkling beetle native to southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, where it inhabits dry, sandy habitats such as the Sonoran and Mojave Deserts. It is highly adapted to hot environments and is omnivorous, consuming dead insects, fruits, lichen, and other plant matter. When threatened, the beetles are able to feign death. The species is becoming increasingly popular in the pet trade, due to their ease of care, hardiness, and longevity.
