pill scarab beetles
Germarostes is a genus of pill scarab beetles in the family Hybosoridae, established by Paulian in 1982. The genus contains at least 70 described species, making it one of the more diverse genera within its family. Members are found primarily in the Neotropical and Nearctic regions. Pill scarab beetles derive their common name from their ability to conglobate, or roll into a ball shape.
