The colouration of Beetles - experiment - Help !

kriekkriek Feb 27, 2004 09:11 PM

Hi my name is MAx, im a student in Australia. If i have signed to this forum its because i like insects and im very curious but it is also in desperation. have an assignment for the end of this session on Beetles. But i have been stuck on a question for too long so i need help...

The question :

" The Bodies of beetles display a great variety of colours. Describe one experiment thet you could carry out to determine the cause of this colouration...is it due to organic pigements in the cuticle, or interference patterns, or heavy metals in the cuticle ? "

If someone could help me i would greatly appriciate !

many thanks

MAX
