Our DOUBLE bracket of Favorite Beetles is on to Round Two, so it’s now the size of a regular bracket. The beetles are seeded into the bracket randomly and I’ve included their length because you can’t always tell the size from photos.
The closest matchups from Round One were:
- Checkered Beetle over Flower Longhorn Beetle by 1 vote!
- Colorado Potato Beetle over Mars Rhinoceros Beetle by 1 vote!
- Mottled Tortoise Beetle over Mint Leaf Beetle by 1 vote!
- Oak Timberworm Weevil over Cryptocephalus sericeus by 1 vote!

A beetle is an insect belonging to the order Coleoptera, which is the largest order of insects and the largest order in the entire animal kingdom, with 350,000 – 400,000 documented species of beetles around the world.
Vote for whichever beetle you prefer for any reason. Specific items aren’t required, so you can skip any you want to skip.
