beetle

The harlequin lady beetle has helped farmers and gardeners control plant-eating pests, and defenders argue it is basically harmless.

Nvidia’s latest chips are mostly encased in plastic packages and resemble an ant or a beetle with copper wires for legs.

Fallen leaves also create an ecosystem for other species, Renwick explains: “You’ve got beetles in there. You have worms coming up from the ground. Moths lay their eggs in the leaves.”

"In this case, it's a beetle that loses the tree and the wood it needs to lay its eggs."

It is smaller than your fingernail, but this hairy beetle is one of the biggest single threats to the UK's forests.
