Because beetles are insects, studying them specifically falls under the
job of an entomologist. Entomology is the study of everything involving insects -- how they live, how they reproduce and what their general habits are. Some entomologists use the information they discover to try to find ways to control pests and predators .

Entomology has several fields. It is common for an entomologist to specialize in one of these areas, which include forest and agriculture, evolution of a species or insect physiology, ecology and toxicology. Entomologists often team up with other types of scientists to develop a specialized set of positive ideas and projects with the knowledge they have of certain insects, in this case beetles. For instance, a group of scientists could work on creating a vaccine against certain parasites, or recognizing the beetle's feeding habits in order to protect a certain area of wildlife.

Integrated pest management is an extensive system involving pest control. Entomologists are involved in integrated pest management and research how to control certain pests before they reach a high level of harm to people and economy. Pest control is designed with specific pests in mind. Entomologists lend their expertise in recognizing insect habits to help develop these sophisticated forms of pest management through sanitary, biological and cultural pest control practices. Because beetles can be invasive on crops, vegetation and people alike, an entomologist can study how effectively remove them from certain areas.

Entomologists have several choices when it comes to employment opportunities. Many entomologists are employed by government, forestry, pharmaceutical, medical and post-secondary institutions. Entomologists are also in demand in the pest control industry. They also use their skills to independently consult their own clients on all things involving insects and pest control. The specific
jobs available for entomologists include conducting research and experiments on the life cycles of insects, raising bees and teaching others about the importance of recognizing insects and their behavior, classification, anatomy and history. Entomologists can also find
careers enforcing insect regulations on insect farms.

Because many universities do not offer programs specifically designed for entomology degrees, most people pursuing this career obtain an undergraduate degree in either zoology and biology. There are generally more specialized programs in graduate school. Many positions in entomology require an upper-level degree such as a master's degree or doctorate.
