In midsummer, meadows abound in wildlife. I have been awaiting the arrival of one of the most gorgeous of all insects Chrysochus auratus . The scientific name Chrysochus auratus means “made of gold” and refers to the fantastic metallic hues of blue, green, gold, and red on surface of the beetle.

The Bright Green Beetle -this pretty insect has inspired the make and design of a much adored four wheeler brand. Its sparkling hues can grab anyone’s attention! In its bright green look, neon beetle are nature charisma for sure!, from Iryna
