Ocypus
The Ocypus is a type of beetle that loves to scurry around in the dirt. It has a shiny body and long antennae that help it find food and explore its surroundings.
生息地: Forests
The Ocypus is a long, slender beetle, typically uniformly black and often appearing wingless due to its very short, square-ended wing covers (elytra). It has a prominent head with large, powerful mandibles and a segmented abdomen that it can raise defensively, giving it a scorpion-like look.
