The order Coleoptera is known for its high species diversity, with over 400,000 different species belonging to class insecta. Within this order, family Scarabaeid, plays a crucial role in agriculture ecosystem by consuming and burying dung, thus aiding in nutrient recycling and maintaining soil structure. In this study, we collected Scarabaeid beetles from various regions in Panhala tehsil at 15-day intervals. Later carefully examined the collected specimens using lenses and a compound microscope and documented their taxonomical features through photography. Total identified 15 species of Scarabaeid beetles within the Panhala Tehsil area. While these beetles have significant ecological importance, some species have been identified as significant agricultural pests. These particular beetles pose a threat to crops, emphasizing the delicate balance between their beneficial role in the ecosystem and their potentially negative impact on farming activities.
