A Chrysina quetzalcoatli is freed in Cusuco National Park, leaving a fecal trail. “They almost always do that before they take off,” says entomologist David Hawks. Hawks and collaborator Ronald Cave are estimating population sizes of jewel scarabs in order to assess how collecting by scientists and bug enthusiasts may affect beetle numbers.
