Description
The Corylophidae family, often overlooked, are minute beetles, sometimes called minute hooded beetles for their peculiarly hood-like pronotum. Commonly mistaken as mere specks of dust, these beetles actually have intricate structures and behaviors. One particularly fascinating aspect is their adaptability to various environments, ranging from under bark to in mushroom gills.
