gonna beef up your #alttext no offense intended:
A close up photograph of a Rainbow Leaf beetle. The beetle is perched on the edge of a dark green leaf with light green veins and appears to be facing the camera. The background is blurred, but appears as a solid color, the same hue as the veins of the leaf. The beetle's exoskeleton is astoundingly irridescent. Like anodized aluminum, or an oil slick on a shallow puddle of water. It seems more robot than insect. Truly a wonder.

The Book of Beetles by Patrice Bouchard, 2014
More than one fifth of all the known life forms on this planet are beetles. They are extraordinarily visually diverse: the famous British geneticist J.B.S Haldane, when asked what could be inferred about God from a study of His works, replied, 'An inordinate fondness for beetles.'
