Beetles are a group of insects from the family Coleoptera. About 25% of earth's life is beetles, and only about 40% of the beetles on earth are discovered. There are 400,000 known species, and estimated about 1,000,000 beetles in total, leaving about 60% more to discover. The distribution of beetles is basically worldwide, besides polar regions and oceans, but everywhere else you can find beetles. They often feed on plants, fungi, and dead humus (debris on forest floor), and some feed on other invertebrates. some even feed on birds and mammals. Some species of beetles are pests, feeding off crops and destroying forests. But others, such as ladybirds or ladybugs (family Coccinellidae), feed on beetles and other invertebrates that destroy crops and forests, helping control the number of dead trees or destroyed crops.
this is awesome, especially the fact about beetles, I really had no idea!
