The planidium mounts the bee and rides it back to the hive. There it dismounts and seeks a cell occupied by a host larva. The planidium then enters the body of the host. It changes its skin and shape, then remains more or less dormant until the host larva pupates. It then emerges from the bee pupa and begins to feed.
The elytra of this cockchafer beetle are readily distinguished from the transparent hindwings.. An elytron (/ ˈ ɛ l ɪ t r ɒ n /; from Ancient Greek ἔλυτρον (élutron) 'sheath, cover'; pl.: elytra, / ˈ ɛ l ɪ t r ə /) [1] [2] is a modified, hardened forewing of beetles (Coleoptera), though a few of the true bugs such as the family Schizopteridae are extremely similar; in true ...

Microscope image of an individual elytron from Augenerilepidonotus dictyolepis.Note the fringing papillae on the border. In annelids, elytra (/-t r ə /; from Greek ἔλυτρον "sheath, cover"; sg.: elytron / ˈ ɛ l ə t r ɒ n /) [1] are shield-like scales that are attached dorsally, one pair on each of a number of alternating segments and entirely or partly cover the dorsum.

Attagenus smirnovi, the brown carpet beetle, is a species of beetle from the family Dermestidae.It is a synanthropic pest which lives in human buildings, homes and museums and eats wool-textiles, carpets, skin and fur. [1]
The beetle’s elytra is made up of chitin fibers and a proteinaceous matrix. [17] The elytra of D. tityus can be used as a biological blueprint for the development of light and strong materials. [17] D. tityus can also change color from green to black based on environmental humidity. They change to black when the humidity increases. [17]
Like most beetles, they possess reinforced forewings (called elytra) that act as protective covers for their hindwings and abdomen. Only the hindwings (which are large and membranous) are actually used for flying, while the elytra are kept completely closed; flying with closed elytra is universal among cetoniine scarabs but rare in other ...
The body is massive and characterised by metallic colour, bluish or green on the head and prothorax, and red on the elytra. Their antennae and legs have a blue metallic colour. The head, round and small, has two robustly toothed antennae, the pronotum is furnished with longitudinal crests, and the elytra, covered by strong puncture, are ...
