Description

Arhopalus might be lesser known, yet they play a crucial role in forest ecosystems. Often mistaken as mere pests, these beetles specialize in breaking down decaying wood, thus accelerating the nutrient cycling process, and aiding in the decomposition of dead trees. Contributing silently to environmental health, their activities ensure the sustenance of forest habitats, although their presence is sometimes feared due to misconceptions about damaging healthy trees.
