This creature is the larval form of a cannon beetle variant known for a diet consisting entirely of entirely of eating stones. The decorated cannon beetle favors stones with a high iron content, which contributes to its brilliant red torso. The stones these creatures launch are wrapped in a powerful magnetic field which causes the stones to stray from their launch trajectory when other objects with high metal content, such as space suits, are nearby. Extreme caution is recommended for explorers wearing steel-plated armor in close proximity to this fearsome creature.
