KKNOWN COLEOPTERA FROM FRANKLIN Co., MISSOURI Reputedly the largest order of insects, this group includes plant feeders such as leaf beetles, long-horned beetles, and many scarabs; scavengers and coprophages such hide, carrion, and dung beetles; and effective predator among the ground and water beetles. Some beetles are of economic importance as pests of crop and ornamental plants, and stored grain pests. A well-known invasive species is the Japanese beetle Popilia japonica which has spread from the east toward Missouri in recent decades. Most of the species below occur or are likely to at Shaw Nature Reserve. Many on this list are identified to genus level only, a function of both the hugeness of the group, and of much taxonomic work remaining to be done. Records compiled from bugguide.net, especially the exhaustive records of Mr. Jack Foreman, plus those by J. Trager and Jon Rapp. Photos here are all by James C. Trager, taken at SNR. They represent the species whose name is directly above the image.
