When black beetle appears before the eyes of a man, the latter does not actually feel any emotion, but disgust.Many even afraid of insects considered.But in fact, they can not cause any harm to a person, because the majority of beetles with black color are a kind of sanitation.They make sure that the one area that can not clean people (forests, meadows, even the back roads and trails that connect to each other big cities) remained clean.
All that has been said above does not mean that the beetle black beret into the hands of a small mop and cleaning the floor.Among the other members of the species of the most common color Flesheater and gravedigger.Both of these insects are making a great contribution to the improvement of meadows and forests, in spite of its name and discordant nasty look.Should consider each of these in more detail.
first black beetle called Carrion.As the name suggests, it is possible to understand what, in fact, he eats.This representative can not be found in the city, because here he is rarely able to find edible food for him.Most often it is noticed in the meadows, arable lands in the suburbs.He does not grow more than four centimeters, it has a black color.Its antennae have a reddish tint.Therefore, they are easily confused with a purely "decorative" natural representatives.Red and black beetles are usually not directly involved in the processes occurring in nature and human life.But this does not mean that they are completely useless.Even the smallest insect is important.Carrion eat animals that were killed or died of natural causes.Next
black beetle called the gravedigger.Representatives of this species somewhat more Flesheater.However, they do not fight among themselves.Moreover, they may well feel comfortable while living in the United Colonies.In these cases, their work will take place at an accelerated pace.But when the two species come into the mating period, they are separated, because now they can not rush.Gravediggers are hardworking nurses that crawl under the dead bodies of birds and animals, to dig beneath the fovea.They feed on carrion beetles.And the bodies they find the smell of rot and decay that they can feel at great distances.
It should be noted that both considered beetle eat not only the decaying carcass of animals.They can also act as a predator.But the hunt for nimble insects or small animals they can not.That is why, when there are no bodies, their diet is slow caterpillars, snails and slugs.
So, if you find a black beetle, think even for a moment before trampling him.This insect's own hard labor clears any area of the corpses of other animals.Thus, it makes your nature walks more enjoyable and comfortable.These beetles saves you the unpleasant smell of decay and rot.
