Beetle
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ladybugs) eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops. Beetles typically have a particularly hard e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Boridae
The Boridae are a small family of tenebrionoid beetles with no vernacular common name, though recent authors have coined the name conifer bark beetles. The family contains three genera. '' Boros'' is native to North America and northern Eurasia, ''Lecontia'' is endemic to North America, while '' Synercticus'' is found in Australia and New Guinea. The larvae of ''Boros'' are found under bark and are especially associated with standing dead trees (snags), typically pines, found in old-growth forests. ''Lecontia'' larvae are found inhabiting damp parts of the root system of dead standing trees. Little is known of the life habits of ''Synercticus.''Pollock, Darren A.. "11.21. Boridae C.
