What lives inside a log?

Very tiny animals, some too small to see, live among the rotting wood, feeding on it. These are called decomposers, and include earthworms, fungi, and bacteria. As the wood decays, the nutrients in the log are broken down and recycled. Living things like insects, mosses, lichens, and ferns make use of these nutrients.

Why do beetles live under rocks?

They stay mostly under the surface of the soil where they are great predators, preying on soil-dwelling garden pests. When they have consumed enough food, they go into their pupa phase, later emerging as adult ground beetles. Much of the ground beetle's life cycle coincides with the timing of its preferred prey.
