O is for... Odd Beetle

odd beetle
Not much is known about these fellows. The odd beetle shows up most frequently in drawers, shelves, and cupboards. One of the reasons this beetle gets it's unusual name is because of it's odd practice of molting. Unlike all other insects, the odd beetle gets smaller and smaller when it molts.
