this poop… pooped on me!
fulcidacinin warty leaf beetles mimic debris, and often bear a striking resemblance to the little barrel-shaped frass pellets caterpillars leave. they’re already quite lumpy and round but can retract all their appendages into little niches to really appear like a turd.
if you look up close, though, they’re wonderfully metallic and bear a curious zipper-like edge to their elytra
if you still don’t believe that this is a living animal, here it is with the legs extended. I’d have better pictures, but the little shit stayed rolled up for 30 minutes straight but of course I take 2 minutes to try to get photos of some flies and it walks way deep into the weeds.

I don’t know when or how this little critter made its way into my home but I gently escorted back outside.
