44.00 $
Description
Scientific Name: Sternocera castanea ssp.boucardil
Common Names: Chestnut Jewel Beetle / Boucard's Jewel Beetle
The intricate pattern on its head, reminiscent of Australian jewel beetles, and the striking contrast of blue and orange colors are exceptionally beautiful.
Featured in Chin-ki Konchuu BRUTUS (Rare Insects BRUTUS) on page 67, in a special feature on jewel beetles.
Jewel beetles are distributed from Southeast Asia to Africa and are characterized by their plump, nut-like bodies. They inhabit extremely arid regions, and their bodies have evolved to be plump in order to store moisture, similar to succulents.
They secrete a powdery substance from their body surface, which adheres to their hairs, creating the patterned appearance.
