Dinocaeruleus smithii is a Canadian species of beetle. It has a blue shell, with a black underside. It is usually between 5 and 10 cm from head to abdomen. It belongs to the family Boganiidae. It has glands in its abdomen that are able to produce a noxious and somewhat explosive chemical for deterring predators. Juveniles of the species can sometimes be green in color.

Etymology
D. smithii has no common name yet. Its scientific name translates roughly to "Smith's terrible blue". The second part of its name comes from the biologist who discovered D. smithii.

Diet
D. smithii feeds on sap from pines, but in some regions has been observed feeding on nectar from flowers. In this way, it is both nectarivorous and exudativorous. In captivity, some individuals of D. smithii have eaten fruits and vegetables such as bananas and potatoes. Some have speculated that if D. smithii is exposed to red lasers, it will become carnivorous as its neutron flow's polarity has been reversed.

Range & Habitat
It has only been found in Sasketchewan, Canada. It can live in habitats such as temperate deciduous forests, open woodland, and temperate coniferous forests. Dinocaeruleus smithii, for unknown reasons, has also been found in Cardiff, Wales.
