  • STUDY: As you study the beetle, you think you could probably wear, remove, clean, flip, kiss, pinch, punish, rub, tap and tickle it.
  • WEAR: You set your ground beetle on your shoulder. The beetle raises its abdomen briefly before getting a good grip.
  • REMOVE: You carefully remove your ground beetle from your shoulder. The beetle squirms and raises its abdomen briefly before resigning itself to being picked up.
  • CLEAN: Your ground beetle begins an elaborate grooming routine, using its mandibles to clean all of its legs before unfolding its membranous wings to clean them.
  • FLIP when worn: You can't -- you're wearing it.
  • FLIP when held: You try to flip your ground beetle onto its back for a belly rub, but the beetle quickly rights itself and clicks its mandibles at you.
  • KISS: You kiss a sleek black ground beetle with white spots!
  • PINCH: You give your ground beetle a squeeze. In response, the beetle sprays you with a caustic chemical. Ouch!
  • PUNISH: You reach toward your ground beetle as if to squish it. In response, the beetle opens its impressive mandibles in a threat display and prepares to spray you with its infamous defensive mechanism. On second thought, perhaps squishing it is not such a good idea.
  • RUB: You gently pat your ground beetle on its thorax, and the beetle pulls its legs close to its body in a defensive posture. Evidently, it does not like to be rubbed.
  • TAP: With one finger, you reach toward your ground beetle. The beetle investigates you with its long antennae.
  • TICKLE: You try to tickle your ground beetle, but it grasps your finger with its legs and holds on tight. Did you really expect the beetle to laugh?
