日前，阿根廷首都布宜諾斯艾利斯附近一處海灘上演了一場恐怖大片。數以百萬計的甲蟲突然出現在 沙灘上，浩浩 蕩蕩綿延數公里，把海岸線染成了一片黑色。
中新網4日援引外媒報導，這突然出現的一幕把當地民眾嚇了一大跳，甚至還一度引發恐慌。有民眾 以為，這樣的 恐怖場景是「世界末日」的「先兆」。也有人表示，這些甲蟲出現之前，當地曾發生地震，不知道這 兩件事之間是 否有聯繫。
還有些人認為，甲蟲可能是到了交配季節，所以才爬出地底集體現身沙灘。科學家稱，甲蟲會在地底 生活約2年， 通常在1月爬出地面進行繁殖。而在完成繁殖後，它們的生命就會走到終點。
有人看到這些甲蟲覺得可怕，有人則看到了商機。一些人已經嘗試在網上出售甲蟲，因為有「偏方」 稱甲蟲的分泌 物可以強身健體。

Over the past couple of weeks, beachgoers in Argentina have been joined by a number of unwelcome companions: tens of thousands of shiny black beetles.
Miles of beach from Mar de Ajo to San Bernardo were covered in the bugs, each about the size of a fingertip, reports La Nacion. The beetles are born underground, and emerge after the rains to mate, dying soon after. Wind and waves may have pushed this particular group to the seashore. "It wasn't possible to walk without stepping [on] them," wrote Reddit user mypolarbear, who visited the beach recently.
According to La Nacion, a similar pileup happened in 2012, leaving beetles scattered over the suburbs of Buenos Aires. Despite apocalyptic theories being bandied around Twitter, such invasions are "nothing more than a huge orgiastic mating ceremony between insects that live only four days," the outlet explained at that time. In other words, a completely natural dose of sex and death.
Every day, we track down a fleeting wonder—something amazing that's only happening right now. Have a tip for us? Tell us about it! Send your temporary miracles to [email protected].

A beetle invasion of biblical proportions has hit beaches in Argentina with millions of the black critters descending on the sands leaving experts baffled.
Locals reacted with horror after seeing the swarm of the bugs crawling on the beaches in the resorts of Mar de Ajo, 31 miles away from the capital Buenos Aires, and San Bernardo.
In scenes straight out of a horror film, images posted onto social media show the beaches turned black by the plague of beetles as they cover miles of coastline.

Although no one is exactly sure what is behind the phenomenon, social media has gone into meltdown with theories.
Some believe it is a portent of the end of the world with commentators claiming the influx of beetles is an 'ominous warning of impending doom' and 'the end of times is near… they can sense it.'

Others suggested that an earthquake had hit the area before the beetle invasion appeared.
One commentator who identifies himself as khnagar, said: 'It looks like Black Maize Beetle (Heteronychus Arator), which are known for having mass flights in the summer/autumn where they mate and all that.

'Or it's some similar type of beetle. They only live for a few days at that stage after crawling out of the ground. So a lot of beetles flew, got swept out to sea by the winds, and then came back to the beach, most of them dead or dying. Most likely scenario I can come up with.'
Scientists say the beetles live for about two years underground and come out to mate. They only live for four more days during this cycle.
The 'hatching' takes place every year and although in the past it usually takes place in January, for the last couple of years it has been happening later.
Now local news says locals are trying to sell the beetles online. According to one ad, a man is offering them for 46 GBP per kilo or 21 GBP per pound.
According to some, secretions from the insect can strengthen the body's defences against cancer, AIDS, asthma and diabetes, among other illnesses.
