COLEOPTERA, Eucnemidae -- <Images> & <Juveniles> Please refer also to the following links for details on
this group: Eucnemidae = Link 1 Description Eucnemidae occur
in all major regions of the world, although many species are rare in
collections. Adult Eucnemidae are found on the surface of plants,
around lights at night, or in flight-intercept traps. Larvae of most species
may be found in dead wood and are able to move through solid wood, but some
are soil inhabiting as well. The
larvae feed on plant juices and possibly on Myxomycete organisms. =
