Hi everyone who has always been loyal to this CCH community. Especially for you photography lovers. How are you all doing? May the best news always be with you. On this occasion, I would like to share my photography of an insect animal called a beetle. When I was relaxing, I suddenly saw this animal and I was interested in capturing it. Some of these photos I took using my smartphone.
The characteristics of beetles generally include a very hard exoskeleton and hard forewings (elytra). The exoskeleton of beetles consists of many layers called sclerites, separated by thin sutures. This design provides a layered defense while maintaining flexibility. The general anatomy of beetles is fairly uniform, although certain organs and appendages can vary greatly in appearance and function from family to family. Like all insects, the beetle body is divided into three parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen.

Beetles have specialized glands that produce pheromones used to find their mates. Rutelinea species' pheromones are produced from epithelial cells lining the inner surface of the apical abdominal segments; Melolonthinae species' amino acid-based pheromones are produced from glands in the upper abdominal part. Other species produce different types of pheromones. Dermestidae species produce esters and Elateridae species produce fatty acids, aldehyde derivatives and acetates.
That's some knowledge about this animal. Hope this was useful and you liked and enjoyed it. Thank you for everything. See you next time. I take my leave, greetings from a lover of nature and what lies within it.
