The kingfisher-beetle

This extraordinary creature is one of the rarest insect to have ever been found in continental Europe, recently discovered by the British insect concentration team. This beetle is extremely rare in Europe in fact only 20 members of this species are found in other parts of Europe. However these creatures are rare because breeding has become harder and more dangerous than previously recognised.

It’s main weakness is hiding from it’s predator which is a spider because it’s sixth sense just isn’t enough to put off spiders from attacking even camouflage won’t help from attacking spiders. That is the reason behind their breeding becoming harder moreover they will attack violently when feeling threatened but unlike bees they wont die when attacking something. But the reason behind their decline in population is that countless amounts of this beetle have reportedly gone missing or have died because of starvation.

On other information its upper thorax is long and its colour can change when hiding from a predator, it’s antennae is long and can detect danger coming from far away. Its wings are almost translucent camouflage because of the sun reflecting its ultra violent rays in the wings of the beetle. Its speed can reach up to fifteen miles an hour which is nearly the speed of a person riding a mountain bike downhill at top speed.
