Found in various habitats across the globe, these beetles are renowned for their iridescent, metallic exoskeletons that shimmer with a spectrum of colours depending on the angle of light. Their stunning appearance is not just for show—these colours serve as both camouflage and a warning to predators. Jewel beetles have long fascinated entomologists, artists, and jewellers, inspiring awe with their natural artistry.
