Observe se o inseto tem seis pernas. Os besouros têm seis pernas distribuídas entre a parte frontal e traseira dos segmentos corporais, mas quando ainda são larvas, todas as pernas ficam na frente do corpo. De qualquer forma, as pernas devem estar distribuídas entre as partes da frente e de trás dos segmentos. Conte-as e observe onde estão posicionadas para saber se é um besouro de fato.[4]
Insetos com quatro, oito ou mais pernas não são besouros. Espécie Oryzaephilus surinamensis. Medindo 3 mm, o corpo desse inseto contém protuberâncias nas laterais do tórax que parecem dentes de serra. Os alimentos que mais gostam de marcar presença, e comer, são as sementes de girassol e nozes, mas também infestam muitos outros tipos de grãos (amendoim, arroz, cevada, feijão branco, milho, trigo, etc.).[28]

Procure por duas coberturas rígidas nas costas do inseto. Os besouros têm asas que ficam cobertas por duas coberturas rígidas, deixando o inseto com um aspecto de carapaça. Esses "escudos" também são o motivo pelo qual os besouros fazem um barulho de algo se quebrando quando você pisa neles sem querer.[2]

Caso o inseto observado for um besouro, as asas não ficarão expostas até que se estendam para fora quando as coberturas se erguerem.

What is the meaning of a ladybug?
Image result for ladybug
They are insects with good intentions and therefore are associated with good luck and happiness. So if a ladybug lands on you, it is believed that good things are about to happen to you. In the same way, he also believes that if a ladybug lands on something of his, it means that he will get another one just like or better.

Ladybug beetles are hemispheric in shape and usually 8 to 10 mm (0.3 to 0.4 inch) long. They have short legs and are usually brightly coloured with black, yellow, or reddish markings. The colour of the wing covers and number of spots vary among species. The pattern of the nine-spotted ladybird beetle (Coccinella novemnotata), which has four black spots on each reddish orange wing cover (elytron) and one shared spot, is an example of the typical colour pattern of ladybird beetles.

ladybug, (family Coccinellidae), any of approximately 5,000 widely distributed species of beetles (insect order Coleoptera) whose name originated in the Middle Ages, when the beetle was dedicated to the Virgin Mary and called "beetle of Our Lady."

Ladybird beetles are hemispheric in shape and usually 8 to 10 mm (0.3 to 0.4 inch) long. They have short legs and are usually brightly coloured with black, yellow, or reddish markings. The colour of the wing covers and number of spots vary among species. The pattern of the nine-spotted ladybird beetle ( Coccinella novemnotata), which has four black spots on each reddish orange wing cover (elytron) and one shared spot, is an example of the typical colour pattern of ladybird beetles.

The life cycle requires about four weeks, so that several generations are produced each summer. The long, slender, soft-bodied larvae, which are usually gray with blue, green, red, or black spots, feed on other insects and insect eggs. The larvae pass through four growth stages and then attach to some object and pupate in their last larval skin. Large groups of ladybird beetles usually hibernate together each winter at the same location.

Clusters of ladybird beetles are often gathered and sold to farmers and gardeners to control such insect pests as aphids, scales, and mites. The Australian ladybird beetle, or vedalia beetle ( Rodolia cardinalis), was brought to western North America to help combat an outbreak of cottony-cushion scale ( Icerya purchasi), which threatened to ruin citrus orchards. Both the larvae and adults of the convergent ladybug ( Hippodamia convergens) are important aphid predators.

Although most ladybird beetles and their larvae are carnivorous, several feed on plants and are quite destructive. Two of these are the squash beetle ( Epilachna borealis) and the Mexican bean beetle ( E. varivestis).

The familiar children's rhyme "Ladybug ladybug, fly away home / Your house is on fire, your children do roam" was a reference to the burning of the hop vines in England that took place following the harvest and cleared the fields but also killed numerous ladybird beetles. In folk medicine ladybird beetles have been prescribed as remedies for colic, measles, and toothaches.

The Metallic Milkweed Leaf Beetle is a species of Leaf Beetle (Family: Chrysomelidae). As the name suggests, the primary diet of this group is the plant foliage. The adults feed on a variety of flora but are typically found on a species of Milkweed native to South Africa (Gomphocarpus fruticosus), hence their common names. They're able to thrive in areas which are both undisturbed and disturbed.

Golden tortoise beetle (aspidimorpha sanctaecrucis), also known as 'golden beetle'.
The name comes from its shell, which is just like a turtle's, but decorated with an impressive golden and transparent pattern, making it extremely sparkling.

Its wings are protected under this hard shell and its color can vary according to the insect's hydration.

Like most creatures, beetles and other insects release wastes in their pee. But most species of beetles appear to process urine differently from all other insects. That’s the finding of a new study.

That finding could lead to a new method of pest-control: making beetles pee themselves to death.

You know what’s small? An insect. You know what’s even smaller? An insect’s brain. However, despite the miniscule size of the insect’s mind, some insects are actually quite smart. In fact, some insects have more in common with humans than you might even realize.

Insect Intelligence

Much like our own brains, there is a lot of mystery regarding insect intelligence. As humans, we tend to think of intelligence as it relates to our own cognitive ability. When we think of intelligent animals, the usual suspects come to mind – apes, dolphins, elephants, and octopi. That’s because these animals demonstrate human-like aptitude such as the ability to solve problems, socialize, and form memories. But, what if we were to tell you that certain insects possess these capabilities as well? Below are two insects that have seriously impressive intelligence.

So yes, insects sleep, but they don't sleep like humans do, because anatomy and some sleep-related neurochemicals don't exist in insects, due to structural differences in the nervous system.

Q: ARE THERE BEETLES IN THE DESERT?
A: The Stonecara beetle lives in the Namibian desert, one of the driest regions in the world.

# data[].attributes.body
1. ARE BEETLES INTELLIGENT??
Studies of intelligence in insects have shown that such animals are endowed with a cognitive device capable of providing them with various actions that be understood as signs of intelligence, such as being able to establish a flight plan

2. ARE THERE BEETLES IN THE DESERT??
Beetles Live Everywhere.
You can find beetles almost anywhere on the planet.
They inhabit both terrestrial and freshwater aquatic habitats, from forests to grasslands, deserts to tundras, and from beaches to mountaintops. You can even find beetles on some of the world's most remote islands.

3. DO BEETLES SLEEP??
insects do sleep. Insects clearly rest at times and are aroused only by strong stimuli: the heat of day, the darkness of night, or perhaps a sudden attack by a predator.

4. DO BEETLES FART, PEE, AND POOP?
insects don't pee like we do. "In general, they eliminate water and uric acid with feces when they defecate. That doesn't mean they don't have a urinary system. It exists, but it is integrated into the excretor apparatus. The main organ of this apparatus are the so-called Malpighi tubules, long and thin channels that extract from the "blood" (or hemolymph) the substances that will be excreted. One of its extremities is connected to the posterior part of the intestine. After collecting the material to be disposed of, Malpighi's tubules transfer them to the intestine, from where they are expelled through the anus

5. HOW DO BEETLES COMMUNICATE?
Beetles have a variety of ways to communicate, including the use of pheromones. The mountain pine beetle emits a pheromone to attract other beetles to a tree. The mass of beetles are able to overcome the chemical defenses of the tree. After the tree's defenses have been exhausted, the beetles emit an anti-aggregation pheromone. This species can stridulate to communicate, but others may use sound to defend themselves when attacked.

6. DO THEY LIVE IN BUILDINGS?

The toxins get excreted in their frass. As the beetles' poop, they contract muscles to direct the flow of feces onto their backs. Soon, the beetles are piled high with poop, an effective chemical shield against predators.
