Tenebrionidae

Common name: Darkling beetles.

A family of about 20,000 described species of dark (“darkling”) beetles (Coleoptera) that may be apterous or whose elytra are absent. The dark-brown larvae possess a tough integument and are commonly called false wireworms. Adults and larvae often feed on the same food, including dung, weakened trees and in granaries.
