外見
The Dentate Stink Beetle is a robust, matte black insect up to 28mm long. It has distinct, tooth-like protuberances on its front legs, giving it its 'dentate' name. Its hard, fused wing covers make it appear flightless and give it a slightly bumpy texture, setting it apart from shiny flying beetles.
