👉 Dolichotetranychus is a genus of insects in the family Dolichopodidae, commonly known as the earthworms or worm beetles. They are characterized by their long, slender bodies with a broad head and two sets of six legs, which they use to burrow into soil and feed on organic matter. This group includes many species that play crucial roles in maintaining the ecological balance of certain ecosystems, such as those found in arid regions where water is scarce.
