Ochodaeidae, also known as the sand-loving scarab beetles,[2] is a small family of scarabaeiform beetles occurring in many parts of the world.[3]
These beetles are small, ranging from 3–10 millimetres (0.12–0.39 in). Their bodies are elongate and convex, with black and brown colors including yellowish- and reddish-brown shades.[3]
As of 2012, the biology and habits of Ochodaeidae beetles is still mostly unknown. Most types have been collected in sandy areas at night, while some of their species are active during the day.[3]
