The Latin species name olens, meaning "smelling", refers to the two white stinking glands on the abdomen. This beetle has been associated with the Devil since the Middle Ages, hence its common name, which has been used at least since 1840.

Perfect round little #Aleocharinae #rovebeetle Cypha longicornis :)
Aleocharinae are crazy diverse (~17.000 species described!) and often somewhat challenging to id but often very rewarding with interesting new records. And maybe I just like comparing tiniest of details

Woke up to find a devil's coach horse beetle in my room. Why do I think this is cute? Not my photo; illustrative only. I wish it well.

I found a new (to me) flavor of rove beetle at my favorite plant nursery this evening; a blue-winged rove beetle! Look at those snappy elytra. 🥰 #rovebeetle #becurious #getoutside #natureiscool #grasshopperperennials
