There is only one terrestrial invertebrate that lives on the Antarctic continent. It is the Antarctic midge -- Belgica Antarctica. From its Wikipedia entry: "To adapt to the cold temperatures, B.antarctica accumulates trehalose, glucose and erythritol."

When the occasional bug is imported in logistical movements, the animal dies for lack of food and/or from extreme cold.
