Eleodes nigropilosa
The Eleodes nigropilosa, also known as the blackling beetle, is a shiny black bug that loves to hide under rocks and leaves. It has a hard shell and can often be found in gardens and fields.
Hábitat: Grasslands
The Eleodes nigropilosa is a robust, dull black beetle with an elongated, oval body. It has a distinctive covering of short, stiff, dark hairs, particularly visible on its fused elytra (wing covers). This hairy texture makes it visually different from many smoother darkling beetles.
