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. [[User:LapisScarab|LapisScarab]] 19:17, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

"This creature is the larval form of a cannon beetle variant known for a diet consisting entirely of eating stones"  Olima called this one, it is a Larva.[[User:Marx Wraith|Marx Wraith]] 23:15, August 10, 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)
