外見

The Black-headed Cardinal Beetle is easily recognized by its strikingly vivid red body and elytra, contrasting sharply with its matte black head, antennae, and legs. It has a distinctive flattened body shape, which helps it to hide. Its wing covers, or elytra, are notably soft compared to most beetles.
