The Devil’s coach horse was once considered the symbol of corruption. According to Irish mythology, with the point of its tail it could kill on sight and would eat the bodies of sinners, the only way to dispose of this devil was by throwing it into a fire using a shovel. But really this common black beetle is no danger to humans or gardens. The Devils coach horse can emit a foul odor with its abdomen and catch prey with its pincer-like jaws but other than that these beetles are completely harmless. They are nocturnal hunters and often become a snack for hungry birds and other animals during the day. Do you think it deserves its name?
