Hello,
I wanted to ask if anyone here knows if Scarabaeoidea species from other genera than Mecynorhina , Eudicella, Oryctes and Euchirus can show that reddish brown chitin plate on their abdomens in L3?
Additionally, if someone knows anything about the function or whereabouts of this morphological feature, I would like to hear about that.

Best regards,
PillipedeBreeder
