I agree with you Prof. Pikmin. If it has seeking rocks why would it need a shell? Also, I look at it kind of like this: Which is prettier: A vase or a metal shell surrounding it?

Olimar's own description (in the articile) says that this is a larval Decorated Cannon Beetle. A beetle by definition must have a shell/hard, rigid wing casings. It doesn't have "larva" in the name because unlike with regular Cannon Beetles, there was no adult form to confuse it with.

The most obvious similarity is to caterpillars, but check out the velvet worm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onychophora it spits out rocks while the velvet worm spits out goo, and it doesn't have true legs just like the ACB and DCB. {{User:IAMAHIPO ocolor/sig}} 16:21, May 23, 2010 (UTC) | The most obvious similarity is to caterpillars, but check out the velvet worm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onychophora it spits out rocks while the velvet worm spits out goo, and it doesn't have true legs just like the ACB and DCB. {{User:IAMAHIPO ocolor/sig}} 16:21, May 23, 2010 (UTC) | ||

mature beetle
does any one wonder how a Decorated Cannon Beetle Adult looks and acts
- I have, actually, but since I have no imagination, I just imagine it as being like an ACB whose shell has a slight reddish tinge. —Jimbo Jambo

In the article, it says that it is never found buried in the ground like Armored Cannon Beetles. Shouldn't that say Armored Cannon Beetle Larva?Pikdude

The most obvious similarity is to caterpillars, but check out the velvet worm: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onychophora it spits out rocks while the velvet worm spits out goo, and it doesn't have true legs just like the ACB and DCB. IAMAHIPO_ocolor 16:21, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
