What does a elephant beetle eat?

Elephant beetles are herbivores, and their diet consists primarily of decaying plant matter, such as:

* Fallen leaves: They love munching on dead leaves that have fallen from trees.

* Fruit: Ripe or overripe fruit is a tasty treat for elephant beetles.

* Wood: While they don't eat wood in the same way termites do, they may nibble on soft, decaying wood.

* Mushrooms: Some species have been observed feeding on mushrooms.

They play an important role in the ecosystem as decomposers, helping to break down and recycle organic matter.
