In many places around the world, humans are known to consume beetles (Paoletti et al., 2013). Additionally, beetles are often traded for their beauty and uniqueness (Roe, 2008). Beetles have been employed as a form of biological control to curb other pests (Obrycki & Kring, 1998). Moreover, some beetles have been used in traditional medicine treatments for years (Abd-Ellah, 2013).
