Morychus
pill beetle
Morychus is a genus of pill beetles (family Byrrhidae) established by Erichson in 1846. These beetles are characterized by their compact, rounded body form that allows them to roll into a defensive ball. The genus belongs to the tribe Morychini and is distributed across northern Europe, with records from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden. Members of this genus are associated with mossy and lichen-rich habitats.
