Meet the scarab beetle (Chrysina resplendens) ✨ 🪲 Their metallic color is a result of ~70 microscopic chitin layers of decreasing thickness that reflect light to produce a metallic effect. 🎥@wonderofscience via IG insecthaus_adi

Those are absolutely beautiful 😍 I currently have two Chrysolina americana living in one of my lavender plants, last year I only saw one, now there are two. I'll happily sacrifice some lavender leaves to see these gems:

Vorig jaar had ik er één, nu heb ik er twee op m'n lavendel, het rozemarijngoudhaantje [Chrysolina americana]. Ik vind ze zo mooi, wel paar lavendel blaadjes waard 😍
