## Caption

Meet the Darkling Beetle, one of the fascinating animals featured in Butterfly Pavilion’s newest exhibit, Legacies: Invertebrates of Mexico. These invertebrates are known for their unique defense mechanism: spraying a strong-smelling substance from their rear to deter predators. While it may be a pain in the butt, Darkling Beetles pose no threat to humans. On a typical day, you can spot these charming insects wandering among one another in their habitat. Learn more about this exhibit at butterflies.org/legacies-invertebrates-of-mexico!
