Not all babies are cute and cuddly. Animal babies come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns. Some animal babies metamorphose, or change their body shapes over time. Meet the American barium beetle.Barium beetle babies are called grub. These thick, pale, worm-like babies look nothing like their parents.Male and female adults are bright, orangey-red and black in color and have hard exoskeletons. This thick, strong exoskeleton protects the adults from many invertebrate predators.

American barium beetle larva must undergo metamorphosis to become adult, much like a caterpillar changes to become a butterfly. A huge change like this requires a huge amount of energy, and that means a lot of food. So what kind of grub do these grubs like the most? Carrion or animal remains. After feeding on carrion,these nurturing parents regurgitate or spit up this tasty, pasty treat for their young ones to eat. Gross? May be. Efficient? Absolutely.
