Most beetles have two pairs of wings. Underneath the first hard pair is another delicate pair. You can see these as the beetle flies around. When the beetle lands‚ the second pair folds away. The first pair then closes down like a shell to protect them. Ants and Termites. Ants live together in large colonies and often make

imagine a population of beetles: 1. There is variation in traits. For example‚ some beetles are green and some are brown. 2. There is differential reproduction. Since the environment can’t support unlimited population growth‚ not all individuals get to reproduce to their full potential. In this example‚ green beetles tend to get eaten by birds and survive to reproduce less often than brown beetles do. 3. There is heredity. The surviving brown beetles have brown baby beetles because this trait has

This is why they arrive at the dead remains only minutes after death. They include both flies and beetles. Flies are usually the first to arrive to the deceased body. The most common one is the blowfly‚ which is metallic green or blue. Their life cycle is what helps to determine how long a body has been decaying. Their life cycle is developed in six
