Feeding Trophic level of Carrion Beetle.
Introduction:
Carrion Beetle is commonly known as beetle. Carrion means the dead body of an animal, hence, the beetle is named as ‘carrion beetle’ because they feed on the bodies of a dead animal. It belongs to Animalia (Kingdom), Arthropoda (Phylum), Insecta (Class), Coleoptera (Order), Staphylinoidea (Superfamily), Silphidae (Family). They feed on bodies of dead animals. Some species of carrion beetle feed on plants for food, or rarely, they hunt caterpillars or snails. The distribution of carrion beetle is worldwide. They come in various sizes.
