Description:

At 4:00 p.m. in the afternoon, I went into the garage, to take out the garbage. As I was leaving the garage, I spotted a beetle, resting on the hood of a car, that was parked in the garage. This beetle, was five sixteenth of an inch long. The color of its elytra, was medium brown. This beetle, had two, round, black eyes. It's abdomen, was a light tan color. Beetles, are a group of insects, that form the order Coleoptera. Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Coleoptera.
