Ironclad Beetle (Zopherus sp.) by Jeff Gruber Via Flickr: Zopherus sp. Found at Rinconcito Lodge, south of Rincón de la Vieja National Park. Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica. Maybe Z. jansoni? Found on lichen-encrusted tree in parking area on lodge grounds. Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
The diabolical ironclad beetle can survive being run over by a car, pecked by predators and crushed underfoot. How does it do this? Researchers from the University of California have explained that the beetle's wing covers are fused together to create a gnarly black armour. This helps it survive loads about 39,000 times its body weight, which is akin to a 90kg human withstanding the weight of about 280 doubledecker buses. The beetle's high number of interlocking sections, protein-rich shell, and reinforced joints around vital organs are what make it so strong. The features observed in the beetle's exoskeleton could one day be used to develop techniques for joining materials.
