A plant or weed that attracts beetles or that beetles frequent; a plant that provides food or habitat for beetles.
Compound word from 'beetle' and 'weed,' combining 'bitela' with Old English 'weod' (a wild plant), describing vegetation by its relationship to beetles.
Native plants called 'beetleweed' were probably named by farmers watching which plants in their fields attracted the most beetles—a botanical classification based on ecological observation rather than the plant's own features.
