Coleoptera (Escarabajos)

Orden: Coleoptera

Descripción: Los escarabajos son un grupo de insectos que tienen el mayor número de especies. Se colocan en el orden Coleoptera, que significa «ala enfundada» y contiene más especies descritas que en cualquier otro orden en el reino animal, constituyendo aproximadamente el veinticinco por ciento de todas las formas de vida conocidas. El cuarenta por ciento de todas las especies de insectos descritas son escarabajos (alrededor de 350.000 especies) y con frecuencia se descubren nuevas especies. Las estimaciones sitúan el número total de especies, descritas y no descritas, entre 5 y 8 millones. Beetles can be found in almost all habitats, but are not known to occur in the sea or in the polar regions. They interact with their ecosystems in several ways. They often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are prey of various animals including birds and mammals. Certain species are agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata, the boll weevil Anthonomus grandis, the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, and the mungbean or cowpea beetle Callosobruchus maculatus, while other species of beetles are important controls of agricultural pests. For example, coccinellidae ("ladybirds" or "ladybugs") consume aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops.

-Beetles are a group of insects which have the largest number of species. They are placed in the order Coleoptera, which means "sheathed wing" and contains more described species than in any other order in the animal kingdom, constituting about twenty-five percent of all known life-forms. Forty percent of all described insect species are beetles (about 350,000 species), and new species are frequently discovered. Estimates put the total number of species, described and undescribed, at between 5 and 8 million.
