What You Need to Know About Beetles
New Jersey is home to 131 different species of beetles, with more being discovered all the time, which means that if you live or work in New Jersey, you’ve likely encountered beetles at one point or another. Some of the most commonly found types of beetles in New Jersey include carpet beetles, confused flour beetles, drugstore beetles, and sawtooth grain beetles, among many others.
What Are Beetles?
Distinguished by their forewings that are typically modified into hard wing cases, beetles are the most common type of insect and consist of nearly 350,000 various species. The traits of each species are highly varied, with some having specialized mouths, horns, bright, distinct colors, etc. Because beetles cannot see very well, they communicate using pheromones, sounds, or vibrations. Not all beetles are considered to be pests, as some species, like ladybugs, actually help the environment. However, other types of beetles destroy crops and property, including carpet, wood, household food items, and more.
