Beetles (order Coleoptera) are one of the main groups of insects.
The forewings are not used (at least not actively flapped) in flying, but they must (in most species) be raised in order to move the hindwings.
The extraordinary number of beetle species poses special problems for classification, with some families consisting of thousands of species and needing further division into subfamilies and tribes.

Their order (biology)order, Coleoptera (meaning "sheathed wing"), has more species in it than any other order in the entire animal kingdom.
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.
The elytra are not used in flightflying, but generally must be raised in order to move the hindwings.
