April 7, 2021 Join Entomologist Floyd Shockley to learn about and observe elytra! Elytra are a beetle-specific adaptation that evolved from wings and are one of the key reasons for their successful diversification and survival in habitats worldwide. See real beetles from the National Museum of Natural History Museum's collection, observe beetles, and learn about how the elytra helps the animal better survive in its environment.
