A Chrysina quetzalcoatli is freed in Cusuco
National Park, leaving a fecal trail. “They almost always do that before they take
off,” says entomologist David Hawks. Hawks and collaborator Ronald Cave are
estimating population sizes of jewel scarabs in order to assess how collecting by
scientists and bug enthusiasts may affect beetle numbers.
