Marsh Beetles
Scirtidae is a family of small beetles commonly known as marsh beetles. Larvae are typically associated with stagnant water but can also occur in flowing water, while adults are found near water's edge in decomposing plant material. The family comprises more than 600 described species distributed among approximately 30-60 genera worldwide. Members are primarily aquatic or semi-aquatic in their larval stages, with adults showing strong affinity for moist riparian habitats.
