Editing Cucujoidea (section)

== Ecology ==
Cucujoidea usually have cryptic habits, living in fungi, leaf litter or dead wood.<ref name=":0" /> This is reflected in many families having "fungus" or "bark" in their common names. The [[Kateretidae]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Family Kateretidae - Short-winged Flower Beetles |url=https://bugguide.net/node/view/14000 |access-date=2023-08-25 |website=bugguide.net}}</ref> and some [[Phalacridae]]<ref>{{Cite web |title=Family Phalacridae - Shining Flower Beetles |url=https://bugguide.net/node/view/38232 |access-date=2023-08-25 |website=bugguide.net}}</ref> feed on flowers instead. The Nitidulidae are quite varied: some are [[Scavenger|saprophagous]] and [[Fungivore|mycetophagous]] like typical cucujoids, but others are associated with carrion, flowers, insect nests or stored food products.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Family Nitidulidae - Sap-feeding Beetles |url=https://bugguide.net/node/view/8441 |access-date=2023-08-25 |website=bugguide.net}}</ref>
