Fifteen people completed this week's survey under hot and sunny conditions. Beetles (coleoptera) have jaws and can eat solid food while bugs (hemiptera) have a tube shaped proboscis and ingest only liquids. As shown below in the comparison of a weevil and stink bug, the product that comes out the other end retains similar characteristics.
