Acanthaspis petax, arguably the most "death metal" insect I have ever heard
of. What you are looking at is a predator wearing an armor of ant carcasses
it killed and impaled onto its own body. This "armor" gives off ant
pheromones and serves almost like a form of olfactory camouflage to
disguise itself from predation from spiders in the salticidae family. Its
literally wearing the skulls of its impaled victims like armor, How f**king
metal is that?!? Anyway, check out @cygnustech for a ton of interesting
features and educational captions :) /
