Which insect has Chewing mouthparts and belongs to Coleoptera?

• A. Green June Beetle
• B. Fruit Fly
• C. Green Lacewing
• D. Flea Beetle

Answer: (A)

Beetles (Coleoptera) are known for having chewing mouthparts—the mandibles are built for biting and grinding solid food. The Green June Beetle is a classic example: it’s a beetle with strong chewing mouthparts used to process plant material and fruit. The other options don’t fit both criteria: the Fruit Fly is a fly (not a beetle) with different mouthparts; the Green Lacewing is in a different order (Neuroptera) and also has chewing mouthparts, but it’s not a beetle; the Flea Beetle is indeed a beetle with chewing mouthparts, but the Green June Beetle is a more straightforward, well-known representative of chewing mouthparts in Coleoptera, which is why it’s the best answer.
