The Rove Beetle
Hello there! Thank you for visiting our website on the Aleochara
bilineata, or more commonly known as, the Rove Beetle. The
Aleochara genius belongs to the order Coleoptera. Coleoptera is of
Greek origin, ‘Cole-’ meaning ‘sheath’ and ‘–pteron’ meaning ‘wing’,
thus sheath-winged which the species is known for
(Webster 2013). Their common name, on
the other hand, is of English descent; ‘rove’ meaning ‘a journey,
especially one with no specific destination’ and ‘beetle’ referring
to the Coleoptera order (Webster 2013).
These types of beetles are known to have actively predatory habits,
hence the ‘rove’ nickname.
