Beetles: The Biodiversity Boosters
With over 350,000 species, beetles take on countless ecological roles. Rove beetles prey on root maggots while scarabs recycle forest nutrients. They support 40% of insect-related ecological functions worldwide due to their incredible diversity. They’ve adapted to nearly every habitat on Earth. Their success story spans 300 million years of evolution, making them one of the most diverse and important insect groups on the planet.
