Question

PLS ANSWER!!!!

This means there are fewer nutrients for other plants, such as grasses. Partly due to the action of the beetle, the desert has changed from mostly grasses to mostly mosquito shrubs over the last 150 years. How would you classify this beetle in terms of its role in the ecosystem? Explain your answer.
