Hábitat: They live in grassy fields and forests where ants are abundant.
The Anteater Scarabs has a distinctive flattened, robust body, often reddish-brown to dark brown, blending perfectly with soil and ant nest interiors. Its tough, leathery exoskeleton covers most of its body, and it lacks prominent antennae or colorful markings, appearing quite nondescript.
