  Clown beetle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The clown beetles, traditionally called hister beetles, are a family (Histeridae) of beetles of distinctive appearance; their flattened leg segments recall the baggy or flowing clothes of clowns or actors ("hister" is from the Latin histrio, actor).
There are often grooves in the beetle's underside into which the antennae and legs can be retracted when the beetle feels threatened.
Clown beetles can usually be found living in dung, carrion, or animal burrows, where both the larvae and adults feed on the juvenile stages of other insects, especially those of flies.

 Beetles Bugs and Mites Gallery
The Rove Beetles are one of the most successful beetle families, with over 30 000 species and 1 500 genera, but only 750 species are known from southern Africa.
These beetles are large and powerful enough to force their way into the flowerheads and thus pollinate the flowers.
They include Tortoise and Golden Beetles, but perhaps the most famous is the larvae of the Arrow-poison Flea Beetle, which bushmen use to poison their arrows.

In caged layer operations beetles have been considered most significant for their potential to cause structural damage to the poultry house or for their potential to suppress fly emergence.
Beetle larvae and adults were fed chicken feed for 24 hours that had been inoculated with a known quantity of Salmonella typhimurium.

 Decomposition: Hister beetles
Histerids are usually shiny fl or metallic-green beetles with introverted heads.
Like other beetles inhabiting carrion, they have fast larval development with only two larval stages.
Beetles of the genus Saprinus are among the first beetles to arrive at carrion.

The Tiger Beetle is a predatory beetle which is encountered in sparsely vegetated sandy habitats which are beginning to stabilize as successional species like blowout grass (Redfieldia flexuosa) and scurf pea (Psoralea lanceolatum) become established.
The beetle allows itself to be blown into the depressions and actively forages on the debris.
Tiny, shining fl, and globe-shaped, hister beetles are found in the grassy margins of the sand dunes.

The primary pests are the house fly, Musca domestica L., and the darkling beetle, Alphitobius diaperinus (Panzer).
The darkling beetle is a pest in older manure, causing damage to building infrastructure and if infested manure is spread onto fields, the beetles can fly in large numbers to nearby neighbors.
Populations of the predaceous hister beetle were successfully established in poultry facilities using three different release methods.

In both locations, the dominant predators (a clerid beetle in California and a hister beetle in Wisconsin) were significantly more attracted to the logs containing beetles from the opposite state.
For example, the reciprocal introduction of natural enemies to locations where they are most attracted to the prey would be a form of classical biological control but using native natural enemies.
Another implication is for bark beetle pheromone trapout programs using the correct pheromone chemistry would reduce the impact on native predators.

When New York State’s two top egg producers—with a combined production of close to 400 million eggs per year—are able to cut insecticide use in their poultry barns by 75% or more, that’s worth crowing about.
Now an additional biological control tactic has emerged from within the poultry facilities—the hister beetle.
Egg producers are learning how to trap, transfer, then release naturally occurring hister beetles to areas where better control is needed.
