ENGLISH WIKIPEDIA - THE FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA
Beetle
Beetles are a group of insects that form the order Coleoptera . The word "coleoptera" is from the Greek , koleos, meaning "sheath"; and , pteron, meaning "wing", thus "sheathed wing", because most beetles have two pairs of wings, the front pair, the "elytra", being hardened and thickened into a shell-like protection for the rear pair and the beetle's abdomen.
