Natural Habitat

Usually found on vegetation, leaf litter, soil, or around stored products, depending on species. This individual appears to be on an indoor or outdoor textured surface.

Diet & Feeding

Adults generally chew leaves, buds, or stems; larvae commonly feed inside roots, stems, seeds, or other plant material.

Behavior Patterns

Mostly nocturnal or shelter-seeking, with a slow walk and tendency to drop or feign death when disturbed. Development occurs through complete metamorphosis: egg, larva, pupa, and adult.

Risks & Benefits

Most are harmless to people and do not bite or sting. Some species damage ornamental plants, crops, or stored seeds, while others contribute to decomposition and serve as prey for wildlife.
