Cachicamo diciéndole a morrocoy conchú'o

This proverb describes a person who criticizes others for a flaw or mistake that they themselves have. It is the local equivalent of the pot calling the kettle black. (A cachicamo is an armadillo and a morrocoy is a land turtle: since both have hard shells, it is ironic for one to mock the other for being thick shelled).

Look at him, criticizing when he doesn't even realize he does the same thing... cachicamo diciéndole a morrocoy conchú'o.
