    It actually means di-aboly, as in having two abolies. An aboly is an organ exclusively found in beetles that regulates certain hormoes.

    And it’s called ironclad because they are well known for manufacturing and wearing suits of armor.

    Hardest exoskeleton of any known insect (researchers drove their Toyota over one of them, and it survived)

    And an abnormal long lifespan for a beetle.

    Intresting little critters

    Both the name and an appearance could be something of a Dark Souls boss. Or Hollow Knight

    Oh! These are so cute. I keep another type of ironclad beetle, the more commonly known Blue Death Feigning Beetle.
