The Skin-Slasher
The skin-slasher is a highly dangerous type of beetle which has only been discovered in the last year on a palm tree in Guam. Since then, scientists have studied it and observed its habits so they could know what it is fully capable of. But how would you recognise one? Read on to find out.

Appearance
A skin-slasher has the shape of ordinary beetles but there are many features that make it special, including two three-centimetre horns on its head, a back which has a crossed pattern and a red dot on and a three and a half centimetre stinger. The critter in total is ten centimetres long and weighs approximately fifteen grams. The way to tell that they are skin-slashers is the vibrant red dot at the top of its back. Even though they cannot fly, they are incredibly fast going up walls or doors etc. BEWARE: These venomous animals can be found anywhere at anytime, so keep your eyes peeled.

What it does
Many people believe that these creatures are harmless and that scientists have been lying, yet they could not be more wrong. These insects could cut open your skin with one slice of their horns, injecting a highly toxic venom as they do it. This would leave you in unspeakable pain, not to mention nausea and dizziness. Additionally, many scientists say that some of these cuts can be worse than snake bites and you should immediately call and ambulance if this happens. Moreover, if you see one of these creatures, either run as far away as you can or possibly trap it with something like a bucket (you would have to be extremely cautious)
