FTP, name this order of insects, comprising the weevils and beetles.
Emerging as larvae, members of this order undergo a metamorphosis via the pupal stage, during which time the forewings harden and thicken to form the elytra, which meet mid dorsum to protect the abdomen and hindwings. Mouthparts are modified for biting during this time, and in some species they may grow to assume antler-like proportions. Containing almost 330,000 species, it is by far the largest order in the animal kingdom. FTP, name this order of insects, comprising the weevils and beetles.
