The super family of Scarabaeoidea is a taxon of beetles recognized by the common name Beetle. She is the only one of the Scarabeiformia superfamily.
There are many types of Beetle (estimated at more than 2000 species). They are lamellar beetles. Some species are frugivorous, others are radicivorous or even coprophagous.
Etymology and naming
The runtime of Beetle is via the Old French “escarbot” either a borrowing from the Latin scarabaeus or the ancient Greek κάραβος, which is also the origin of the term carabid. The term beetle in zoology (zoology (from the Greek terms ζoον, zoon, animal, and…) generally designates the set (in set theory, a set intuitively designates a collection…) of the superfamily, but this term can for some authors designate more restrictively the Scarabaeidae, some even only the coprophages of this family.
Some groups of these insects, which can be paraphyletic, have colloquial names such as dynastes or rhinoceros beetles, dung beetles, cockchafers, stag beetles… Some species have a particular colloquial name such as the plum beetle.
Generally considered useful: They participate in the elimination of manure.
