Hallo steemian's so bright these days the weather where I live, returned today'll post some macro photos of black beetle, he is the winner of all the beetles which I take to steemit today.

not a lot I have to tell you, according to wikipedia, beetles are a group of insects that make up the order Coleoptera / koʊliːɒptərə /. The word "coleoptera" is derived from the Ancient Greek language κολεός, Koleos, and πτερόν, pteron, that if both together meaning "sheathed wing", as most beetles have two pairs of wings. Couples who are in front of the wings called elytra. Couple these wings harden and thicken to protect the couple wings behind him and also protects the back of the beetle's body.

Order Coleoptera have more species than any orders, covering almost 25% of all known forms of animal life. Approximately forty percent of all insect species have terdeskripsi are beetles (about 400,000 species and new species are often found. Famili most major taxonomic, Curculionidae, also included in this Order.

The spread of the beetle is very broad. Beetles can be found in all major habitats, except in the oceans and polar regions. They interact with the ecosystem in a variety of ways. Some species of beetle is a producer of detritus, by destroying the tissues of animals and plants die, scavengers certain types, and feed on garbage. Some species feed on fungi. Some species are flower and fruit eaters. There are also species that are parasites or parasitoids. Several other species are predators for other invertebrates. Many species of predator beetle is an important pest control agriculture. For example, in the family Coccinellidae beetles that prey on aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that can cause damage to crops.

Conversely, some beetle species are prey for a variety of invertebrates and vertebrates, including insects, fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Beetles are generally not a serious pest, but they include industrial and agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa ​​decemlineata, Anthonomus grandis cotton beetles, red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, and cowpea beetle Callosobruchus maculatus. Also included death-watch beetles, larvae can cause serious damage to the building by way of gnawing wood.

In order Coleoptera species are generally characterized by their exoskeletons and hard front wings (elytra). This elytra distinguish beetles from most other insect species, except for a few species of Hemiptera. Beetle exoskeleton consists of a lot of plates called sclerites, separated by a thin seam. This design creates a beetle defense while maintaining flexibility. General anatomical beetle fairly uniform, although specific organs and appendages can vary greatly in appearance and function among many families in this Order. Like all insects, the beetle's body is divided into three parts: head, chest (thorax) and abdomen (abdomen).Text Source
