Devil's Coach-Horse Beetle Enamel Pin

The Roving House Verified independent store

→

This feisty rove beetle is well known throughout Europe for its defensive display. When threatened, it opens its jaws and curls its abdomen over its body. The pose resembles that o f a scorpion but functions more like a skunk raising its tail — if further harassed, white stink glands emerge from its rear, and a fierce bite could follow. This hard enamel pin measures approximately 1.5 inches wide and is double-posted for extra security. It features eye-catching silver metal, striking black enamel, and just a little golden shimmer in the mouthparts to capture the beetle's legendary attitude. Each pin comes on a card with the species name. Show more
