アトボシアオゴミムシと教えて頂きました。雑木林の林床でドクダミの葉に乗っていました。後ろ向きで尻を持ち上げてひくひくしたので、ヘッピリ虫の有名なガス放出かと警戒­しました。しかし本種の防衛法は悪臭を放つ液を滲ませる程度なのだそうです。本来は夜行性らしい。

  • sounds like they r not so grounded as the common name implies. lol

    ive heard that they release very stinky liquid/gas in self defence.

  • We have lots of carabuses flying into our windows this year, though it's 4th floor.
