	Beetle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beetles can be found in almost all habitats, but are not known to occur in the sea or in the polar regions.
		Beetles are generally characterised by a particularly hard exoskeleton, and the hard wing-cases (elytra) which tend to cover the hind part of the body and protect the second wings, the alae.
		In these beetles the testes are tubular and the first abdominal sternum (a plate of the exoskeleton) is divided by the hind coxae (the basal joints of the beetle's legs).

	BESS BEETLE
		Ladybird beetles, fireflies, scarabs, and darkling beetles (the mealworm adult stage) are all Coleoptera.
		Bess beetles are somewhat social insects, with colonies living together in decaying stumps and logs.
		Bess beetles are very sensitive to air movement, almost more so than light, so every time the decaying hardwood is replenished, the beetles will be disturbed.

		Bess beetles go by many names–bess bug (although they are not true bugs), betsy beetles, patent leather beetles, or palladid beetles.
		Bess beetles are somewhat social insects, living in colonies in decaying stumps and logs.
		Bess beetles processes the wood through their digestive system and then a fungus grows on the beetles feces.

	Bess beetle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bess beetles or bessbugs are a family Passalidae of beetles.
		Nearly all of the 500-odd species are tropical; species found in North America are notable for their size, ranging from 20-43 mm, for having a single "horn" on the head, and for a form of social behavior unusual among beetles.
		They are subsocial beetles living in groups in rotting logs.

		Bess beetles were chosen as subjects because they are large and easy to work with, do not appear in the scientific literature and are known to supercool (Pinto and Greenberger, unpublished).
		Twelve beetles were supercooled in the February group (six fed and six starved), and twenty-four beetles (twelve fed and twelve starved) in the March and May groups (Table 1).
		The beetle was then suspended in a glass bottle which was placed in a foam cooler containing 95% ethanol and then into a -20 degree C freezer..

	Wildlife of Sydney - Beetles - Coleoptera
		Beetles are extremely diverse and are one of the most successful groups of animals in the world.
		Their front wings (called elytra) are hard sheaths that protect the beetles' hind wings and cover the breathing pores.
		Beetles also have diverse mouthparts, and they eat anything from hardwood to the ooze from rotting fungi.

		The bess beetle is in the order of Coleoptera, family of Passalidae, and genus Passalus.
		Adult beetles are up to 1 3/8 inches long, shining fl with a series of grooves running the length of the wing covers (elytra) and a short horn on the front of the head between the eyes.
		Immature beetles are similar to "white grubs" (Coleoptera: Scarabidae).

		Our local Bess Beetle is one of few found outside the tropics, and its range is limited to the milder southeastern and mid-Atlantic states.
		All Bess Beetles are rather social, living colonially in galleries within or under decaying logs and stumps of oak, hickory, and Sweetgum.
		Since Bess Beetles have relatively long life cycles (most insects die within a few days after becoming adults), it is possible to find them under decaying wood at nearly any season of the year.

	What's That Bug: Beetles
		However, my personal experience with these particular beetles is that they don't live in rotted wood, and tend to be predators in forest undergrowth, as opposed to the more common Passalidae, which I spent my childhood evicting from various logs.
		The rhinoceros beetle, Xyloryctes jamaicensis, and its relatives the ox beetle and the unicorn beetle, are all horned members of the scarab beetle family which includes dung beetles, june beetles and japanese beetles.
		Eggs are laid in compost piles, and the grubs, which can reach 2 inches in length, are sometimes called "crawly-backs" because of their method of locomotion, which involves undulating the body and pushing against the substratum with short stout bristles on the back of the thorax.

		Bess Bug is the name in common use by laypeople.
		"Bess" probably comes from French baiser, "to kiss", and probably refers to the ability of this beetle to pinch with its mandibles (which it does rarely) or the sound of the stridulation.
		Lifestyle of this family is unique for beetles: live in small colonies where larvae are cared for by adults of both sexes.

		A yearlong (1995-1996) rearing project in central French Guiana investigated the host, seasonal, and stratum specificity of the beetles, and a second rearing project is currently in progress in SE Peru.
		Thus far it appears that of the wood-boring beetle species consistently reared in French Guiana, 32-50% are associated with the same host plant family in Peru.
		A second objective is to determine whether beetles that appear to belong to the same species, and are associated with the same host in disjunct regions, are indeed members of the same species.
