Beetles

Technically referred as coleoptera, beetles are insects with sheathed wings. Beetles consist of more species than any other order, constituting almost 25% of all known life-forms. The diversity of beetles is very wide-ranging. Altogether, there are roughly 400,000 beetle species found in almost all types of habitats, except the sea or the polar regions.
