Seashell Bug

Appearance
Seashell bugs have six legs and what appears to be a green, black, and brown tortoiseshell on their back.

Personality
Their favorite food is kelpis root. Digging deep holes in the sand, the seashell bugs search for kelpis root. Within just a few hours, the once pristine black sands take on a pock-marked appearance that will soon disappear with the incoming tide. For weeks the seashell bugs will make their home on this stretch of beach, gathering kelpis root and storing bunches of it in one hole or another. [1]

Habitat
Seashell bugs live on the verge of a black sand beach, dotted with hundreds of holes. As the rainy season fades and the sunshine warms the black sands of bita’galo, thousands of fist-sized creatures emerge and make their way from the dense rain forest to the sun-baked beaches. [2]
