Beetles

Beetles are an order of insects, which contain more species than any other order, in the animal kingdom. The insect order of beetles, contains almost twenty-five percent; of all known life-forms. Some species of Beetles, like the ladybug and Soldier beetle, are widely considered beneficial insects; and are actively encouraged by gardeners.
