Framed Beetle Chrysochroa Rugicollis Specimen
Jewel beetles have been worn as living brooches, traded by Victorian collectors, and coveted by naturalists for centuries. The Chrysochroa rugicollis earns that obsession without trying.
This is the kind of specimen that stops people mid-sentence. The elytra shimmer metallic purple, edged with pale lemon, and the head lands in a glitter pink that shifts and catches light depending on where you're standing. It's not a trick of photography, it's biophotonic sorcery, the same structural colouration that makes these beetles so prized in dark aesthetic collections and entomological art circles alike. Framed and ready to hang, it fits naturally alongside horror memorabilia, gothic decor, or anything that belongs in a room with too many candles and strong opinions.
Professionally framed specimen. Colours include metallic purple, lemon yellow, and iridescent pink. Suitable for wall display.
