There are 350,000 species of beetles, which is about 25% of all known life forms. Wikipedia says the total number of species (described or not) is between 5 and 8 million.
The WT Society tries to dodge the issue by saying that NOT ALL species needed to be onboard the ark, just a few of each "kind", from which species could come. So they're saying that all the species rapidly developed after the ark landed -- which would be a much faster evolution of species than the theory of evolution itself proposes.
By the way, the real answer to your original question is ZERO. There was no ark, and no flood as described in the Bible. Such a fable is not even the least bit scientific.

They didnt start making the volkswagon beetle until after WWII.
But if Noah could have found any he would have driven 2 on.

From a similar question:
http://www.creationontheweb.com/content/view/4474/
but do you think that he had all 350,000 documented species of beetles?
No, because beetles and other invertebrates were not among the animals that Noah had to take, because they could survive off the Ark. Our core literature such as The Creation Answers Book explains this in ch. 13.
Or did speciation occur after this time?
Of course, and quicker than you think, but as shown, irrelevant to the first question. But it doesn’t look like you have anything more than an ill-informed strawman about what creationists mean by ‘kind’.

SO THEY WERE NO BEETLES ON NOAH'S ARK.
PRESUMBLY THEY FLOATED ON WOOD AND CARCASSES.

If the beetles were "clean", there would be 7 pairs of them in the ark. Now, how they multiplied to be 30 million species today is the greatest feat of evolution ever. :)

ONE PAIR OF BEETLES WOULD HAVE HAD TO PRODUCE 7,500 SPECIES A YEAR,ASSUMING THERE ARE 30 MILLION SPECIES.
FROM 7 PAIRS,ABOUT 1000 SPECIES A YEAR.
DOES THIS SOUND PLAUSIBLE?
