BEETLES
 
 Beetles (Coleoptera): When J.B.S. Haldane (1892-1964), renowned British physiologist and philosopher, was asked what his studes of nature revealed about God, he replied, "An inordinate fondness for beetles."
 
 There have been more species of beetles described than all other living species combined. An incredibly diverse and adaptable order of insects, beetles display an array of shapes and colours that are nothing short of amazing. This try from the New Brunswick Museum insect collection contains a selection of beetles from New Brunswick and elsewhere. Not surprisingly, there is still much to learn about this group of insects - as of yet we can't even asnwer the most basic of questions - how many species of beetles occur in the province?
