Do you know which insect is the world's most aggressive fighter? The answer is the "Ground Beetle." With its massive body and super-strong power, the Ground Beetle is a true master of combat. Ground Beetles are carnivorous insects. They not only attack other insects but sometimes even learn to prey on earthworms and snails! However, despite being so fierce and powerful, the Ground Beetle has a secret that few people know. Let’s join Mr. Fabre to uncover this mystery!
There are also insects known as "Funeral Directors." When we walk along country roads, we often see dead birds, mice, and other small animals, and we quickly step away in fear. But some insects rush over with excitement. However, don’t think of them as dirty just because of this. It’s thanks to them that the world remains clean. Without them, our surroundings would be filled with the carcasses of small animals. Among these Funeral Directors, the most skilled are the "Burrowing Beetles." Now, let’s see how Burrowing Beetles handle animal carcasses! But be sure to hold your nose first, because the stench of decaying flesh is truly unbearable.
