Metallic green/gold elytra (hard forewing) with rainbow-colored abdomen and wingtips! These beetles are incredibly beautiful no matter what... but opening up their wings to discover a rainbow abdomen hiding under there! Totally show-off worthy! Chrysochroa fulminans is a species of jewel beetle of the Buprestidae family.
Mounted on an art reproduction print showcasing a (super cute jewel beetle) from the book - The natural history of beetles : illustrated by thirty-two plates, numerous wood-cuts, Edinburgh :Henry G. Bohn,1852.
8x8 Inch Black Frame
A great addition to any cabinet of curiosities or classroom educational tool! Nothing like some bug taxidermy:)
The critter pictured is an example of what you will be receiving. No worries, they are all about the same and super lovely.
