Their surface is densely dimpled and has a strong metallic, olive to bronze-coloured sheen. The hind wings are well developed and large. When the beetle rests, these wings must be folded in an intricate manner to fit under the wing covers. Spreading the wings is faster. This is done with the assistance of the legs and a comb-like apparatus - located at the end of the abdomen - which is pulled a... | | |
| | There are approximately 25,000 species of scarabs worldwide, about 700 of which can be encountered in Europe. Around 200 species exist in Central Europe. Adult scarabs reach body lengths ranging from 5-60 mm. These almost strongly-built beetles due to a big number of external characteristics allow a distinction by gender. In the case of the European rhinoceros beetle, the males have a distinctive "horn" on their foreheads. | | |
| | Scarab species may be diurnal or nocturnal. Adult beetles and larvae feed on decaying plant parts or on dung. Some species, such as Scarabaeus sacer, undertake an extraordinary high level of brood care, rolling manure into balls and keeping these in reserve as a food source for their larvae. Due to their ...
...ake an extraordinary high level of brood care, rolling manure into balls and keeping these in reserve as a food source for their larvae. Due to their ability to produce humus, these species are ecologically important. Other species, such as the May beetle (Melolontha melolontha), can cause serious damage in forestry and agriculture when appearing en masse. | | |
