Beetle?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a beetle has reached adulthood and depending on what species they are, their lifespan will be  will be anywhere between 10 days and 6 months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lifecycle of a beetle is fascinating and generally consists of four main stages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Egg:<\/strong> The journey starts when the female beetle lays tiny eggs. Depending on the species, these eggs can be laid in the soil, on plants, or inside other materials.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Larva (Larvae for plural):<\/strong> Once the eggs hatch, out come the larvae, which are often worm-like and might look quite different from the adult beetles. This is the primary feeding stage. These little critters can be quite hungry, munching away to gather energy for the transformations ahead.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pupa (Pupae for plural):<\/strong> After the larval stage, the beetle enters the pupal stage. During this time, it seems like the beetle is taking a break, but there&#8217;s a lot happening inside! The beetle is undergoing a significant transformation. It&#8217;s in a protective casing and is reshaping and reorganizing itself to emerge as an adult.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adult:<\/strong> Out comes the fully formed adult beetle, ready to start the cycle all over again. The adult beetles will mate, and the females will lay more eggs, ensuring the next generation of beetles.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a look below and observe just a few of the many species of beetles that inhabit our planet.
