Darkling Beetle
Asida sabulosa
Adult darkling beetles roam dry, sandy ground, usually sheltering beneath stones or plant debris during the hottest hours. They feed on decaying vegetation, fallen plant matter, and low-growing plant material. Their thick, dark exoskeleton reduces water loss and offers strong protection from predators.
