Most earwigs (<i>Tenebrionidae</i>) have elongated, flattened, dark brown bodies with membranous hindwings folded underneath short forewings. Most have forceps-like cerci (pichersThe biology of rove beetles (Staphylinidae).
Rove beetles (<i>Staphylinidae</i>) predate on insects, collembola and other invertebrates in decaying plant matter of forests, and along freshwater margins..The biology of scarab beetles (scarabs, Scarabaeidae).
Scarab beetles (scarabs, <i>Scarabaeidae</i>) or dung beetles are colorful scavengers living, feeding and breeding on animal dung or decaying plant material in both the adult and larval stage.The biology of Flat bark beetles (silvanids, Silvanidae).
