Anaspis
Anaspis is a large genus of beetles belonging to the family Scraptiidae. These small beetles are sometimes falsely called tumbling flower beetles as they occur in large numbers on flowers and have a habit of tumbling to the ground when disturbed. They do not have a vernacular common name, but some recent authors have coined the name false flower beetles, though this is used for their taxonomic family as well.
Anaspis beetle larvae relies on decomposition of wood for energy. While adult Anaspis beetles consume pollen.
