Jewel beetle

''"I caught a jewel beetle! Ooh... Sparkly!" -

The Jewel Beetle is a small insect found on trees. It is greenish in color.

Donating to the Museum in City Folk
Upon donation to the Museum, Blathers the curator will say, "The Japanese name for the jewel beetle inspired their word for iridescence. Makes sense, I suppose... Since the beetles keep their color after death, it's said their bodies were worn as jewelry long ago. Do you suppose they left the legs and antennae on the bodies when they wore them? ...Blech."

The jewel beetle can be found in the top-most section of the Museum, to the far left, on the same tree as the Rainbow Stag (the tree closest to the light on that side).
