They are the most abundant of all insects, and play a valuable part in the breakdown of organic matter in the soil, and soil aeration. The varieties extend across the world, being active in the summer, and breeding and dying as the weather cools. The last picture of the Green beetle unlabeled is an example of a Stink beetle, which is a Ground beetle, or carab.
