Interesting facts: Beetles have two sets of wings. The hard pair of wings or elytra, meet in straight lines down the beetle’s body and during flight, are elevated to allow the second membranous pair to function. While the hard pair are extremely light-weight, they are also extremely sturdy, composed of chitin. Some beetles are brilliantly colored throughout, while others have only isolated iridescent patches. The Buprestids’ brilliant metallic coloration is due to a phenomenon called interference, and occurs in the physical structure of the insect’s chitin. Multiple layers of cuticle in the elytra are composed of minute spacings that allows light waves to reinforce, weaken, or eliminate each other. Hilda Simon’s The Splendor of Iridescence explains that interference colors are not static, but fluctuate with shifting rays of light. Some green beetles such as Sternocera aquisignata vary from dull bronze to bright emerald to blue and violet as the light shifts. Interference colors are the most pure and brilliant of colors and no other form of pure pigment can match such intensity of brilliance. Therefore, the seemingly magical coloration of metallic beetles has made them extremely fascinating, and since the elytra are hard and the brilliant color is permanent, their decorative uses have been seen around the world for centuries. Beetles in Food and Trade At one time numerous quantities of shining green Buprestids were harvested for use in textiles and ornaments. Akyab was the chief town and center of this activity, located in the district of Arakan lying along the Bay of Bengal in Myanmar (Burma). Presently, Bangkok is the chief market for Buprestids. Arakan forests were filled with valuable timber and also hosted several varieties of Buprestids, referred to as “chenk puri” or “thungon puri,” harvested in the rainy season. The Cyclopedia of India, revised in 1885, refers to beetle wings as an article of commerce, harvested in Arakan, then sent to Calcutta, from where the wings were further distributed. The Cyclopedia says that up to five thousand maunds were procurable during the rains, a maund being a measure of weight varying from twenty-five to eighty-two and one-eighth pounds, depending upon the substance weighed. In the Bengal bazaar, a maund equaled eighty-two pounds and two ounces, and in Akyab, beetle wings fetched six to seven rupees per maund. Most likely, these millions of imported wings were of the species Chrysochroa from the Buprestid family, a beautiful brilliant green and coppery color. Some beetles have even been prized as delicate edible morsels, in both adult and larval stages. Where a people’s diet is often rather limited, insects can contribute welcome supplements of fat and protein. F.S. Bodenheimer in his book Insects as Human Food, discusses many diverse groups of people throughout the planet that eat insects. One insect, Sternocera aquisignata of the family Buprestidae, is eaten by some Northern Thai, Lao, and Chinese peoples, and its brilliant green elytra are used throughout that region, including Nagaland, for decorations.
