| Chrysolina cerealis | January 28 2026 | Central Aceh Regency,Aceh, Indonesia |
In my cacao plantation, I managed to find a very unique beetle, different from other beetles, this beetle has a relatively small size with an elongated shape, but that's not what makes this beetle very unique, pay attention to its color carefully, this beetle has several layers of color on its body even though black is the main color, there are green, blue, and red on its back, but these colors will only be visible if we see it from a close distance. I found this beetle when it was perched on a dead tree branch, it didn't fly when I approached it so I could photograph it easily
The color of this beetle is very shiny especially if we see it in direct sunlight, I like the shape and color, but it is very unfortunate that this beetle has a relatively smaller size so we need to see it from a very close distance. I don't know whether this beetle is rare or not, but I myself very rarely see it.
