| Coleoptera (Beetles) |
Beetles (Coleoptera) are the most diverse of all insect orders. There are approximately 375,000 formally recognized beetles, though the order may consist of as many as 900,000 or even 2,100,000 species, if undescribed and projected taxa are included. We have only slightly over forty identified species of beetles in our photo collection.
