Amazing Adaptations: The World of Beetles

Beetles are a diverse group of insects with over 300,000 species worldwide. They are adaptable, found in various habitats, and have a unique ability to chew their food, unlike most insects. Beetles exhibit a range of characteristics, such as the Whirly gig beetle's dual vision and the American burying beetle's symbiotic relationship with mites. Some beetles can even produce light to deter predators. Despite their defenses, beetles are consumed by humans in many cultures, often as a protein-rich snack.
