You know that clattering sound you're always hearing in the Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes? It's coming either from a https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=9700"">(NPC #9700) or one of these things, with the fire beetle being the slower of the two.

Here's the jist on this guy.
Another critter needed for the achievement added in 3.08 Pest Control (at the time of this post, it's not in database).
An easy way to find this guy is to fly to Thorium Point, then head towards Blackrock Mountain spamming your /target macro. While you're at it, you can check the nearby lava pools for https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=9700 Lava Crab s to /love for the achievement To All The Squirrels Who Shared My Life.

Helpful macro for the achievement:Helpful macro for finding the Larva:
/tar Larva
/stopmacro [noexists]
/tell (YourCharacterName) > %t <

Remember to replace YourCharacterName with, well Your Character's Name.

Going to repost this on the others.

add the following:

/stopmacro [noexists]
/tell YOUR NAME HERE > %t <
/stopmacro [dead]
/run
/run RaidNotice_AddMessage(RaidBossEmoteFrame,""THERE IT IS! KILL IT!"", ChatTypeInfo[""RAID_WARNING""])
/script PlaySoundFile(""Sound\interface\RaidWarning.wav"")

to the end of the search macro to make it much more obvious when you come across one.

An interesting, though totally useless, anecdote: whilst desperately hunting these in Burning Steppes, I grew weary and began to despair the possibility of ever finding one. They were just too small and too sparse to see. Then I glimpsed an https://vanillawowdb.com/?npc=9690 Ember Worg running off into the distance and biting something. Sure enough, on closer inspection, it was a Fire Beetle. Feeling a bit necrophillic, I /loved it, for the achievement.

Afterwards I emoted the Worg too, out of sheer gratitude.

Then I realised I'd been tracking the wrong achievement lists for the last half hour - /loving pests instead of critters. And I /cried.
