Beetles (Order Coleoptera) are the largest order of animals. a group insects that make up Coleoptera. Estimates total number living beetle species millions whose features it difficult to visually identify species. Currently, classification process is still carried out using direct observation and personal assumptions. CNN model ResNet50 one ResNet variants has 50 layers VGG16 utilizes convoluti...

the results of faunistic survey of jewel beetles (coleoptera: buprestidae) carried out in kurdistan province of iran are presented. 30 species belonging to two subfamilies (buprestinae and agrilinae) and 8 genera were collected. of these 1 species is new for iranian fauna and 19 species are new for kurdistan province.

Coleoptera (beetles) is a massively successful order of insects, distinguished by their evolutionarily modified forewings called elytra. These structures are often presumed to have been a major driving force for the successful radiation of this taxon, by providing beetles with protection against a variety of harsh environmental factors. However, few studies have directly demonstrated the functi...

From 2003 to 2008, 176,643 Gratiana boliviana Spaeth (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) were released in Florida as part of a biological control program targeting tropical soda apple (TSA) Solanum viarum Dunal (Solanaceae). The spatial distribution of releases was clustered with more beetles released in south/central Florida than further north. A survey conducted in the fall of 2008 found G. bolviana ...

Beetles belong to the order Coleoptera, and are important organisms for the ecosystems functioning in which they inhabit. Taxonomists classify these organisms to facilitate their identification and study. For this purpose, they use identification keys, composed by dilemmas, which increase in number when classification approaches to the least inclusive category. This work presents a method to au...

Abstract We examined the attraction of adults to six LEDs in red flour beetles, Tribolium castaneum (Herbst) (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae), which is widespread as a stored grain insect. In experiment, bluish green and were more attractive than two UVs, blue, only females. On other hand, no difference was found among males. Next, we investigated relationship between light intensity attractiveness....

In the current paper the first fossil representatives of leaf-beetles from the subfamily Lamprosomatinae (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) are described and illustrated from Upper Eocene Baltic amber: Succinoomorphus warchalowskii gen. et sp. nov., Archelamprosomius balticus gen. et sp. nov., and Archelamprosomius kirejtshuki sp. nov. A key to fossil Lamprosomatinae is provided.

Copulation, observed in 6 species of Passalidae, occurred with one beetle up-side-down in relation to the other. In Odontotaenius they were end to end (known for Coleoptera only in Scolytidae); in Passalus they were venter to venter facing nearly the same direction (known for no other beetles and only for certain Diptera and Mecoptera among other insects).

Movement behavior determines the success or failure of insects in finding important resources such as food, mates, reproductive sites, and shelter. We examined the response of female red flour beetles (Tribolium castaneum Herbst: Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) to habitat cues by quantifying the number of individuals that located a patch (either with or without flour) in response to the distance rel...
