A shining example of a jewel scarab beetle, Chrysina strasseni hangs out on a leaf in Honduras’s Pico Pijol National Park. Jewel scarabs are favorites of many insect collectors, who will pay $5 to $500 apiece, depending on the specimen. A perfect C. strasseni might go for $200, but this one was collected for science, not for sale.
