Description
Lagria species are fascinating beetles known for their velvety appearance, owing to fine hairs covering their bodies. These beetles, part of the Tenebrionidae family, play a vital role in the ecosystem by aiding in the decomposition of plant material, thus cycling nutrients back into the soil. Common myths may paint beetles as mere pests, but Lagria beetles contribute significantly to environmental health. Their presence underscores the balance between insect life and plant decay, crucial for sustaining soil fertility.
