The beetle is one of the insects and bugs in our Animal Kingdom. You can find it in everywhere on land, and it eats plants, wood or other insects. It scuttles and buzzes. This page is a good fit for ages 5 to 10 (Kindergarten to 5th Grade), and Buzzby can read it out loud.

Is the beetle one of the insects and bugs?

Yes. Insects have six legs and three body parts. Spiders and snails are bugs but not insects.
