What is a Beetle?

Beetles are a type of insect known for their hard outer shell, which protects their wings and body. With over 400,000 species, they are the largest group of insects in the world! Many beetles, like the familiar ladybug, have short lifespans of around one year, although some can live longer. They can be tiny or quite large, and depending on the species, they may weigh less than a paperclip. Most beetles have a firm, smooth texture thanks to their shell, and they often make soft clicking or rustling sounds. Beetles live in all sorts of places, from forests and deserts to gardens and lakes. They munch on plants, decaying wood, and sometimes even other bugs. No matter where they live, beetles play an important role in keeping nature clean and healthy.
