Anthicinae Ant-Like Flower Beetles
Anthicinae (Subfamily)
The Eurygeniinae subfamily, commonly known as ant-like flower beetles, is a group within the family Anthicidae. These small beetles are so named due to their resemblance to ants, which helps them avoid predation. Eurygeniinae beetles are generalist feeders and are often found on flowers, where they consume pollen, nectar, and other small organic materials. They may also scavenge on decaying plant matter, small insects, or fungi.
