Old Potato's Concentration Beetle Game

INFORMATION ABOUT BEETLES

Is it a beetle?
Beetles are insects from the order Coleoptera. You can distinguish a beetle from other types of insects by the straight line down their back where their wing covers meet. Oh boy, there are a ton of pretty beetles in the world, so learning to recognize and love beetles will surely fill your heart with a never-ending flow of six-legged joy.

Here are some of the types of beetles you can find in The Old Potato's Beetle Concentration game.

	SOFT-WINGED FLOWER BEETLES: Soft bodies, often hairy and wedge-shaped. Look for them on flowers.
	FLAT BARK BEETLES: Bodies very flat, brown, black, or red. Look for them under bark or in rotting plant material.
	DUNG BEETLES: Beefy beetles with 'clawed' feet and sometimes a horn. Look for them in cow or horse poop, or under logs.
	LADYBIRD BEETLES: Small, round, brightly colored, come on guys, you know these ones. Look for them on plants.
	FIRE-COLORED BEETLES: Super-fancy antennae that branch or have little projections coming off of them. Look for them on plants and flowers.
	LONG-HORNED BEETLES: Super long antennae, often longer than their body. Look for them on trees and flowers.
	SNOUT BEETLES (weevils): Antennae a sharp bend or 'elbow'; head usually with a long snout. Super-common. Look for them on fruit, stored grain, and plants.
	DERMESTID BEETLES: Oval beetles with short antennae. often with scales or hair covering making colorful little patterns on their bodies: Look for them in stored food, carpets, furniture, and insect collections!
	NOT A BEETLE: This is actually a thorn bug, which is naturally camouflaged as a thorn. Look for them in the tropics on twigs.
	LITTLE, UNINDENTIFIABLE BEETLES: sooo little. Maybe not even a beetle. Don't worry about it.
	TORTOISE BEETLES: Little turtle-like, round beetles. Look for them on flowers and plants.
	SOLDIER BEETLES: Thread-like antennae, black, brown or yellow with spots. Look for them on flowers or leaves.
	OK, so I totally made these ones up. That beige one even has butterfly antennae, but there are a TON more kinds of super cool beetles that I haven't mentioned here. Lots and lots of them haven't even been discovered yet.
