Beetles

With over 400,000 described species and many more species yet to be described, there are more species of beetles than any other insect. Beetles can survive in many different climates and are both herbivores and carnivores. They have four stages of life (egg, larvae, pupa and adult) and undergo complete methamorphis. Some species do significant damage to crops and trees while others eat farm pests. Beetles are very interesting insects to study and have a history dating back to prehistoric times. The ladybug, carpet beetle, black carpet beetle, cigarette beetle and elm leaf beetle are all commonly found in the United States. Determining what species of beetle you have at your home may be difficult. It is recommended to call a pest control specialist to handle a beetle infestation.
