The devil's coach-horse beetle (Ocypus olens) is a species of beetle belonging to the large family of the rove beetles (Staphylinidae). It was originally included in the genus Staphylinus in 1764, and some authors and biologists still use this classification. These very common and widespread beetles are present in most of Europe and in North Africa. They have also been introduced to the Americas and parts of Australasia. They prefer areas with damp conditions and can be found from April to October in meadows, heath and moorland, woodlands, hedgerows, and parks and gardens. During the day, they commonly stay under logs, stones, or leaf litter. (Source: Wikipedia.org, CC BY-SA)
