Genus of beetles
For the prehistoric jawless fish genus, see
Saarolepis .
Anaspis beetles belonging to the family Scraptiidae . These small beetles are sometimes falsely called tumbling flower beetles (Family:Mordellidae ) 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.[ 1]
