False flower beetles
Scientific name: Scraptiidae
Description
Members of the Scraptiidae family, commonly referred to as false flower beetles, are often mistaken for tiny colorful beetles that visit flowers. However, they largely feed on fungal spores and decaying material, rather than the flowers themselves. This confusion reflects not only the intricate relations within ecosystems but also highlights how appearances in the animal kingdom can often be deceiving.
