Carpet beetles are insect pests of the dermestid family. Adults feed mainly on pollen and nectar, but the larvae feed on the animal protein keratin found in wool, other animal hair and feathers, and may also feed on stored grain products.
Dung beetles are beetles that feed partly or only on the dung of mammals. They are a kind of scarab beetle. All these species belong to the superfamily Scarabaeoidea, and most of them to the family Scarabaeidae. The subfamily Scarabaeinae alone has more than 5,000 species.any dung beetles, known as rollers, roll dung into balls, which are used as a food source or brooding chambers. Other dung beetles, known as tunnelers, bury the dung wherever they find it. A third group, the dwellers, neither roll nor burrow: they simply live in dung.
