Members of the Dweevil family are known for carrying objects of astounding size on their backs, then mimicking them. The Fiery Dweevil is one species in this family.
Generally, this is a very gentle insect that feeds on grass nectars, but when faced with danger, the Fiery Dweevil ignites flammable internal gasses, juts out its jaw, and spews scorching flames.
As this clearly makes it a rather dangerous insect, it is best not to linger directly in front of it.
