Best Answer

There are about half a million beetle species, depending on who you ask. They fall into all known categories: carnivores, omnivores, highly selective plant feeders that eat only one species of plant, etc.

Some are carnivorous, e.g. carabid beetles, some eat only leaves, e.g. chrysomelids, some eat dead dry or rotten wood, e.g. the common woodworm, a beetle. Some eat dead animals.

There is almost no natural organic substance that is not eaten bij at least one kind of beetle.

So a general answer for all beetles is not possible.
