Feeding Habits of Golden Sand Beetle
Golden Sand Beetle moves backward, similar to the movement of shrimp. The nest of the sand beetle is in the shape of a funnel, a trap for small insects. Inside the trap, there is fine sand. The sand beetle uses its small horns to dig out the sand, creating a spiral-shaped funnel.
As long as the small insect falls into the fine sand, it will sink. At this time, the sand beetle will drag the prey into the sand, causing the small insect to suffocate and die, and finally enjoy the delicious meal.
