fire beetle
A fire beetle is a type of insect belonging to the family Silphidae, primarily known for their ability to withstand extremely high temperatures. They are most commonly found in areas that have experienced forest fires; hence, they received their name 'fire beetle'. They are attracted to fire and heat and lay their larvae in recently burned wood. The term "fire beetle" can refer to several species, but often refers to Melanophila acuminata. They are small, typically dark-colored beetles with specialized sensory organs that can detect heat and fires from miles away.
