INTRODUCTION

The aim for this site, and the book of the same name, is to focus on the world of beetles, to and for those who study them in nature and in laboratories and collections.

Information about and from the book of the same name will be the central hub to disseminate as much about beetles, and to those who are interested in them, as possible.

Beyond a summary of the chapters of the book by the same name, ideas for beetle-related projects for both teachers and students and links to many other websites about beetles are given. In addition, photographs and drawings of beetles are shown to give the readers a greater appreciation for the diversity of shape, structure and color.

So, come on in, learn something about beetles and gain an appreciation for one of the greatest groupings of life on Earth. As you take this journey, please visit the many paths along the way to learn about how you can study beetles in your own backyard or local habitat.
