WTF kind of "wild animal" is that? :D





You are a Silver Beetle! Jewel beetles belong to the family Buprestidae, which is a large group with about 1,200 species in Australia. Many are found in the Sydney region and can be seen feeding on and flying around flowers in heaths and woodlands. The larvae live in wood or, more rarely, softer plant stems. Jewel beetles are brightly coloured and often have a metallic sheen that makes them popular with collectors. On other continents, jewel beetles have been used in clothing, decorative boxes, sculptures and even religious shrines.
