I came across some really incredible shots of macro animals in the forests of Aceh-indonesia.
Beetles are a group of insects that form an order, the word coleoptera comes from the Greek if the two are put together, which means that most beetles have two pairs of wings. This pair of wings can protect the wing pair behind it and also protect the back of the beetle's body. The order Coleoptera contains more species than any other order, the animal life of which is known to all described insect species.
The very wide distribution of beetles is found in all major habitats, except in oceans and polar regions. They interact with their ecosystem in various ways. Some species of beetles are detritus producers, by destroying dead plant and animal tissue, eating certain types of carcasses, and eating garbage. In addition, species eat fungi and species that eat flowers and fruits and also species that are parasites or parasitoids. Several other species are predators or predators of other invertebrates. Many species of predatory beetles are important in controlling agricultural pests. Scales, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that can cause crop damage.
Beetles are the largest insect species we know of, and have bright metallic colors and unique patterns and striking shapes. Beetles can be found in all forests of the world and in all habitats, and even in areas with water.
Beetles have special features that distinguish them from other insects, for example a hard wing called elytra which is not used to fly, but to protect the main wing they can fly. Beetles come in many sizes, from small ones to large ones.
All these photos mine are taken by smartphone camera.
