It is most active at dawn and dusk when temperatures are more forgiving. The beetle opportunistically scavenges on any available plant or animal matter. Unlike many of its relatives, it cannot emit a defensive odor against predators. Instead, it flips over and \"plays dead,\" causing predators that hunt live prey, like spiders, to often lose interest.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe female lays eggs in whatever humid substrate she can find. The grubs (larvae) feed on decaying matter, pupate in the soil, and eventually emerge as adults. If they reach adulthood, these hardy insects can live for 8 years or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis double-posted soft enamel pin features \u003cem\u003eAsbolus verrucosus\u003c\/em\u003e in its iconic death-feigning pose.
