Beetle
Beetles are insects that form the order Coleoptera (), in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 described species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently, with estimates suggesting that there are between 0.9 and 2.1 million total species. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae (ladybirds or ladybugs) eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops.

Pyrochroidae
Fire-coloured beetles is the common name for members of the tenebrionoid family Pyrochroidae. The family is found worldwide, and is most diverse at temperate latitudes. Adults measure 2-20 mm; larvae reach 35 mm. Larvae of Pyrochroinae are found associated with the bark of dead trees. They are probably mostly fungivorous, although they may become cannibalistic if too crowded. This family contains some 150 species in 30 genera. The males of many species in the subfamily Pyrochroinae have comb- or antler-like antennae. This family also now includes most former members of the defunct family Pedilidae. 280px, ''Pyrochroa serraticornis'' Genera These 21 genera belong to the family Pyrochroidae: * '' Agnathus'' Germar, 1818 * '' Anisotria'' Young, 1984 * '' Cononotus'' Leconte, 1851 * '' Dendroides'' Latreille, 1810 * '' Exocalopus'' Broun, 1893 * '' Frontodendroidopsis'' Young, 2004 * '' Hemidendroides'' Ferrari, 1869 * '' Lithomacratria'' Wickham, 1914 * '' Malagaethes'' Polloc ...
