Definition
An insect of the order Coleoptera, commonly known as a beetle.
Etymology
From Greek 'koleon' (sheath) and 'pteron' (wing), describing the distinctive sheath-like hardened front wings. The term became standardized in 19th-century entomology.
Kelly Says
Every single beetle you've ever seen is a coleopteran, and there are over 350,000 known species—more than all vertebrates combined—yet most people can't name a single beetle family!
