Ironclad beetles ( Zopherinae) are considered the most heavily armored of all beetles. At one time, they were able to fly but have evolved incredibly strengthened armor by increasing the protein levels within the elytra to such a degree that they now out-perform all other beetles when it comes to exoskeletal strength.

Conclusion. Beetles, belonging to the vast order Coleoptera, exhibit a captivating ability to fly.

Some flying beetles have peculiar functional properties of their elytra, if compared with the vast majority of beetles.

In the open state during flight, the sutural edges diverge much more than by.

The featherwing beetle Paratuposa placentis is one of the world's smallest insects at just 395 microns long -- only about four times the average human hair's width and similar to an amoeba in size. For tiny animals, viscous air friction becomes a major challenge to flight, so larger animals often fly faster than smaller ones.
