Termites and beetles are both insects, but they differ in many ways. Termites are social insects that live in colonies and feed primarily on wood, playing a vital role in breaking down cellulose. They have soft bodies and straight antennae. Beetles, on the other hand, are solitary and belong to the order Coleoptera. They have hard exoskeletons and chewing mouthparts. While some beetles also feed on wood, most have diverse diets. Termites can cause significant structural damage to buildings, whereas beetles have varied ecological roles, including pollination and decomposition. Despite differences, both contribute to the ecosystem’s nutrient cycling.
