— Ray and Gooch explaining how Jolly Beetles work.

Jolly Beetles, as their name implies, are rare, large, happy beetles native to Swellview. They are known for their tears which contain special element, that can either increase (blue), or decrease (yellow) molecular density. They only eat Japanese fish flakes and the only thing that can kill them is yokonium gas.
History[]
Henry Danger[]
The Jolly Beetles are insects native only to Swellview, and it can be implied they are a rare species of beetle. In Tears of the Jolly Beetle, the evil scientist Dr. Minyak captured 15 of those rare beetles and having learned of their tears and their impact on molecular density, decided to use them to end Captain Man's career.
The beetles were trapped on chairs inside glass jars in Minyak's hideout and were manipulated into watching a really sad movie, making them cry yellow tears. Nurse Cohort would eventually use their liquid of tears and spray it in Captain Man's face, making him vulnerable to pain.
The beetles would continue to be under Minyak's control, until Kid Danger and Captain Man intervened and saved them, sort of (one beetle met his demise when Captain Man stepped on him). Gooch would let the beetles watch a funny show, making them cry tears of joy, and restoring Captain Man to his indestructible self.
Danger Force[]
In Don't Go In There!, Danger Force places a red box to tempt Ray to open it and take revenge for not letting them into his secret room, but behind the team's back, Bose added Jolly Beetle tears. After opening the box, Ray was blinded by Miles' sauce and lost his indestructibility due to tears, although they managed to get the antidote when Ray allowed them to enter his room.
