Order: Coleoptera

Beetles are a group of insects that form the order Coleoptera, in the superorder Endopterygota. Their front pair of wings are hardened into wing-cases, elytra, distinguishing them from most other insects. The Coleoptera, with about 400,000 species, is the largest of all orders, constituting almost 40% of described insects and 25% of all known animal life-forms; new species are discovered frequently. The largest of all families, the Curculionidae (weevils), with some 83,000 member species, belongs to this order. Found in almost every habitat except the sea and the polar regions, they interact with their ecosystems in several ways: beetles often feed on plants and fungi, break down animal and plant debris, and eat other invertebrates. Some species are serious agricultural pests, such as the Colorado potato beetle, while others such as Coccinellidae eat aphids, scale insects, thrips, and other plant-sucking insects that damage crops.

Pitch canker, a disease that affects
many pine species, is caused by the
fungus Fusarium circinatum . This fun -
gus can also infect Douglas-fir, but
symptoms are usually limited to tip
dieback.
Most pines native to California are sus -
ceptible to pitch canker, but Monterey
pine, Pinus radiata , is the most widely
affected host. The most recent severe
outbreak of this disease in California
was in populations of native bishop
pine, P....
