Scientists who study insects spend hours observing the unique physical traits of arthropods. Inside a quiet laboratory setting, an entomologist fairy examines the glossy surface of a beetle shell to learn more about natural armor and structure.
Discoveries About Beetle Shells and Insect Anatomy
Beetle shells are composed of chitin, a tough nitrogen-rich polymer that forms a rigid exoskeleton protecting soft internal organs. The metallic iridescence on many beetle shells is created by microscopic surface patterns that reflect light at different angles.
