Acquired traits are those traits that are developed during lifetime of an individual. These traits cannot be inherited. For example, a wrestler develops large muscles due to his training program. but this does'nt mean it'll be passed on to his ofspring. In simple terms, acquired traits are skills, knowledge or memory that an individual develops during his/her lifetime.
On the other hand, inherited traits are those traits that are transferred from parents to offsprings. Example, skin colour, eye colour and shape, etc

Acquired traits might be the changes or mutations occured to the genes in one's lifetime.For Example AIDS is an acquired trait.It would have been better of you gave the example of beetles.
But I thought to give different example as the bettle example is given in book itself

Inherited trait =A traitof an organism which is caused by change in its genes is called an inherited trait .example there is a population of red Beetles in the greenbushes against suppose that a colour variation arises during reproduction so that there is one beetle which is green in colour this change of green colour in the Beetle has been brought about by changing genes of the reproductive cells the green colour of the beetle is an inherited trait which can be passed on to the next generations.
