It is famous for its brilliant iridescent colors, usually displaying combinations of bright green, blue, and red with a glossy metallic shine. The elongated body can reach around three to four centimeters in length and has a hard shell that reflects light in a jewel like way, which gives the beetle its common name. These beetles are often associated with forest habitats where their larvae develop inside wood, feeding on the tissues of trees and contributing to the natural process of wood decomposition.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis species is distributed widely across parts of South and Southeast Asia, including countries such as India, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia. It typically inhabits tropical and subtropical forests where suitable host trees are available for reproduction. Adult beetles are often seen on tree trunks or foliage during warm seasons, while the larvae live hidden within the wood for most of their life cycle. Because of their vivid metallic wings, the elytra of this beetle have also been used historically in decorative art and traditional jewelry in several Asian cultures.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of conserving the rainforest where they fly and developing responsible conscious trading.\nThis allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts to contribute to understanding and treasuring those species.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease consider that the specimen you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease note: In our selection of white frames, the inner box frame—the part that creates the depth of the shadow box—is currently only available in black, as white versions are not available at this time.
