Walkers find rare animal – “You can compare it with 6 correct ones in the lottery”. Black-blue oil beetle discovered: “I didn’t realize they were so rare” It seems to be a rare animal that one should even “bow down” to.
But be careful: oil beetles are poisonous. They contain the defensive secretion cantharidin. This can cause severe irritation to the skin and mucous membranes in humans. There are no known cases of fatal poisoning of people and pets.
