Meaning of clown beetle | Babel Free

Noun CEFR B2

Definitions

Any beetle of the family Histeridae.

Examples

“The clown beetle family is fascinating yet poorly understood in terms of its biology and distribution in California. […] As predators, some clown beetles are moderately beneficial. Species living in dung are probably of greater importance because they prey on pestiferous flies infesting accumulations of animal waste in cattle pastures and poultry farms.”
