Looking at the Bess beetle you can't tell the difference in a boy and girl. However, if you watch their habits you can figure it out. When mating, the boy climbs on the girls back. During the day, the female can be found buried in the grassy areas laying eggs.
Some of the predators of the Bess beetle are woodpeckers, turkeys, and the spotted salamander. Other animals that prey on Bess beetles are toads, opossums and the hognose snake.
