Beetles are found almost everywhere, in all sorts of environments. Some dig tunnels under tree bark and bore their way into wood. Others live in the water and prey upon other water creatures. Some live in fungi. Others feed on carrion.
Some beetles are parasitic.
Some of the plant-eating beetles are considered to be serious pests to crops. Other beetles are beneficial to mankind because they feed on insects that damage crops. Beetles can live on or in the ground, on vegetation, or in water. Beetles tracks can be found in just about as many environments as the beetles themselves. However, some of these environments are not the type that tracks show up in well.
