The elytra of some Buprestidae species have been traditionally used in beetlewing jewellery and decoration in certain countries in Asia, like India, Thailand and Japan. Description and ecology [ edit ]
Many have the two elytra fused together, forming a solid shield over the abdomen. In a few families, both the ability to fly and the elytra have been lost, as in the glow-worms (Phengodidae), where the females resemble larvae throughout their lives. [76] The presence of elytra and wings does not always indicate that the beetle will fly.

The adult D. hercules beetles are capable of creating a 'huffing' sound, generated by stridulating their abdomen against their elytra to serve as a warning to predators. [ 11 ] [ 16 ] Like most insects, communication within the species is a mix of chemoreception , sight, and mechanical perception.
The former ability keeps Dytiscidae alive underwater for about 30 minutes, whereas the two combined can give them around 24-36 hours’ worth of oxygen in one go. Some Dytiscidae have an additional way: using their elytra as a respiratory organ. One of them, Deronectes aubei, has been recorded to survive 6 weeks without atmospheric oxygen. [10]
