Beetles in macro frames

Beetle is a group of insects that form the order Coleoptera / koʊliːɒptərə /. The word "coleoptera" is derived from the ancient Greek κολεός, koleos, and πτερόν, pteron, which when both are united means "sheathed wings", since most beetles have two pairs of wings. The wing couple in the front is called elytra. These wing pairs are hardened and thickened which can protect the wing spider behind it and also protect the back of the beetle's body.

The Order of Coleoptera has more species than any order, covering nearly 25% of all known animal life forms. [2] [3] [4] About forty percent of all insect species that have been described are beetles (about 400,000 species [5]) and new species are often found. The largest taxonomic family, Curculionidae, is also included in this order.

The spread of beetles is very wide. Beetles can be found in all major habitats, except in the oceans and polar regions. They interact with their ecosystem in various ways. Some beetle species are the producers of detritus, by destroying dead animal and plant tissues, eating certain types of carcasses, and consuming waste. Some species eat mushrooms. Some species are flower and fruit eaters. There are also species that are parasites or parasitoids. Some other species are predators or predators for other invertebrates. Many species of predatory beetle are important as agricultural pest control. For example, beetles in the Coccinellidae family that prey on aphids, scaly insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that can cause crop damage.

not all types of beetles are safe for humans and not dangerous to humans, many types of beetles emit chemical fluids when they feel threatened. from various types of beetles, chemical liquids contained in the body was also different, there is a discharge semacama pungent smell and there are also liquids that contain acid that can burn and make our skin blister.

for this type of beetle I do not know what kind of fluid that comes out of its body, it does not smell but I also avoid touching my skin directly with the liquid, at the time of shooting this beetle discharge a few times from his body but not about me because I always dodge .
