Information
Beetles
have two prominent compound eyes, and antennea of various shapes
and sizes that arise between the eyes. There are more than 300,000
known species of beetles in the world, a number approximately
equal to that of known plant species.
Most species of beetles can fly, most do so only to cover short
distances or to reach vegetation close to the ground. The rest
of their time is spent crawling on or near the ground or on vegetation
or swimming. Both beetle larvae and adults are active predators
eating only aphids and other plant eating insects, such as scales
and mites.
