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