Violin Beetle Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a violin beetle! Apparently I'm as fit as a fiddle!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The violin beetle gets its name from its shape. That is, SOME think it resembles the stringed instrument.

  If you ask me, this is an insult to violins!

  With its flat body and small head, the violin beetle looks like nothing but a repulsive bug, plain and simple.

  In fact it is so repulsive, it oozes a foul liquid when frightened! Ugh! This insect strikes a sour note indeed.
