What is a "beetle"?
A beetle is a fascinating insect with a hard exoskeleton and distinctive wing covers called elytra. It comes in various shapes, sizes, and colors, showcasing incredible diversity. Beetles can be found in different habitats worldwide, from forests to deserts. They play important roles in ecosystems, serving as decomposers, pollinators, and predators. With their specialized mouthparts, beetles have adapted to feed on a wide range of food sources, including plants, fungi, and other insects.
