Didn't we have a post a while ago about an invading badger, and now this?!? I don't want to overreact or anything, but I think they're trying to wipe us out!

PirateShampoo wrote: » http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_coach_horse_beetle "This beetle has been associated with the Devil since the Middle Ages, hence its common name. Other names include Devil's footman, Devil's coachman and Devil's steed. In Ireland the beetle is known as a deargadaol (literally Devil's beast) and it is said that the Devil assumes the form of this beetle to eat sinners. As with many supposed bringers of ill-luck superstition holds that people can turn the creature's powers to their own advantage and it is said that reapers used to enclose the body of a Devil's coach horse beetle in the handle of their scythes to improve their skill. The origins of these beliefs can perhaps be explained by the beetle's threatening appearance, and its habit of eating carrion." Hope your not superstitious lol
