An anode is the negative terminal of a voltaic battery. This word references the beetle's electrical nature. In Japan, it is known as {{j|エレキムシ|Ereki Mushi}}, which literally translates to "Electric Bug". Its scientific name is ''Scarabum electrodea'', in which ''Scarabum'' refers to the real world {{w|scarabaeidae}} family, where scarab beetles are from, and ''electrodea'' is Latin for "electrode". Internally, it is called <code>elecbug</code>, a shortening of its Japanese name's translation.
