Rainbow Beetle

Rainbow Beetle

Beetle is a group of insects that form the order Coleoptera / koʊliːɒptərə /. The word "coleoptera" is derived from the ancient Greek κολεός, koleos, and πτερόν, pteron, which when both are united means "sheathed wings", since most beetles have two pairs of wings. The wing couple in the front is called elytra. These wing pairs are hardened and thickened which can protect the wing spider behind it and also protect the back of the beetle's body.
