The Picasso beetle, scientifically known as Eupholus schoenherri, is a species of beetle native to Papua New Guinea. It is known for its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, which have earned it the nickname "Picasso beetle" due to its resemblance to the artistic style of Pablo Picasso.
The Picasso beetle is a relatively large beetle, typically measuring around 2-3 centimeters in length. It has a glossy black body with bright, metallic blue or green markings that create a striking and unique appearance.
These beetles are primarily herbivorous, feeding on leaves and plants in their natural habitat. They are not considered pests and are not known to cause damage to crops or gardens.
The Picasso beetle is highly prized by collectors and insect enthusiasts for its beauty and rarity. Due to its limited distribution in Papua New Guinea and the challenges of obtaining specimens, it is considered a valuable and sought-after species in the insect trade.
Conservation efforts are in place to protect the Picasso beetle and its habitat from deforestation and illegal collecting, as its populations are threatened by habitat loss and overexploitation.
