The Jewel Beetle (Chrysina aurigans) resembles a molten gold drop, which helps it stand out in its Costa Rica rainforest habitat. When the light touches the shell, the beetle has a shimmering look. These beetles are a part of the jeweled scarab group, which includes some of the most fascinating beetles in the animal kingdom. Similar beetles to this species have shells in silver tones.
