Scientific name : Coleoptera
Other names : flea beetles, leaf beetles
Beetles form the largest order of insects; they are recognised by their hardened forewings (elytra) that cover the abdomen like a case. Both adults and larvae can feed on plants: adults chew leaves, flowers or fruit, while larvae often live in the soil, in stems or in wood. Damage ranges from leaves riddled with small holes (flea beetles) and defoliation (Colorado potato beetle) to eaten roots (white grubs, wireworms) and tunnels in trunks, on potato, cabbages, vegetables, cereals, fruit and forest trees.
