In a quiet corner of the forest there was a pair of Eumolpus robustus beetles on an excursion. The beetle managed to attract my attention, it was very beautiful, emerald green. When the sun shines on his body, the color becomes more sparkling like a jewel. Can't wait to get close to the couple. One of them looked embarrassed when I got there, trying to hide but my camera was quicker to catch him. The lush green leaves seemed to be a silent witness to this couple.
When the sun shines on his body again, its shine shines even brighter, reflecting the sun's light perfectly. The smooth elytra are complemented by fine dots of the same color, adding beauty to this tiny creature. If we don't pay close attention, the dot won't look so small.
Judging from its unique color, this beetle is one of the beetles that is intelligent in survival. The color of this beetle is easy to camouflage, especially since it has a shiny body. The glow produces reflected light to confuse predators. So they can easily hide. You could say the color he has is the color of luck.
