Beetles

Question:  Does evoluion account for the unbelievable number of beetle species?

 

Beetles are the group of insects with the largest number of known species. They are classified in the order Coleoptera (pronounced /ˌkoʊliˈɒptərə/; from Greek κολεός, koleos, "sheath"; and πτερόν, pteron, "wing", thus "sheathed wing"), which contains more described species than in any other order in the animal kingdom, constituting about 25% of all known life-forms.^[1] 40% of all described insect species are beetles (about 350,000 species^[1]), and new species are frequently discovered. Estimates put the total number of species, described and undescribed, at between 5 and 8 million. The largest family also belongs to this order—the weevils, or snout beetles,

 

My answer:  I believe God was responsible for the vast diversity among plant and animal species.

 

What do you say?
