Yes. All beetles have wings - in fact, the shieldlike cover really is their pair of front wings. The hind wings are tucked underneath.

Yes, the darkling beetle.
Yes. Egg --> Mealworm (larva) --> Pupa --> Darkling Beetle (adult)
The mealworm is a type of beetle. It is the larval stage of a beetle known as the Darkling Beetle.
The adult darkling beetle, also known as the mealworm, consists of three body parts: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. The length of adults can range from 12 to 25 millimeters long.
The life cycle of a mealworm beetle starts as an egg, which hatches into a larva (mealworm). The larva grows and molts several times before transforming into a pupa. Inside the pupa, the mealworm undergoes metamorphosis and eventually emerges as an adult beetle. The adult beetle then mates and lays eggs, starting the cycle again. The transformation into a fly does not occur in the life cycle of a mealworm beetle.
Mealworms change into darkling beetles. The transformation from mealworm to beetle involves a pupal stage where they undergo metamorphosis. The adult darkling beetles are capable of reproducing and starting the life cycle over again.
The mealworm beetle is also known as the darkling beetle.
The scientific name of a darkling beetle is Tenebrionidae.
The mealworm larva is the second life stage of the darkling beetle. One of the significant structural adaptations is the way that it is physically designed for burrowing through decaying vegetable matter, allowing it to avoid predation by casual observers.
Yes, darkling beetles can fly.
A mealworm larva is the name of a young mealworm beetle. Once a larva is hatched, it takes about 19 days to enter the pupal stage.
