Abstract :

The hard exoskeletons and forewings that serve as protective coverings for their bodies define beetles, which are insects that belong to the Coleoptera order. With over 400,000 species now known, they are immensely varied and range in size from microscopic organisms to larger ones like rhinoceros beetles. When the environmental condition changes beetles enter a state of being temporarily inactive conserving energy and lasting over the period. This process causes a slowdown in metabolic activity and reduces motion.
