beetlewing


Beetlewing, or beetlewing art, is an ancient craft technique using iridescent beetle wings practiced traditionally in Thailand, Myanmar, India, China and Japan.
==Tradition==
It was common in some of the ancient refined cultures of Asia to attach beetlewing pieces as an adornment to paintings, textiles and jewelry. Different species of metallic wood-boring beetle wings were used depending on the region, but traditionally the most valued were those from beetles belonging to genus ''Sternocera''. Their wings were valued for their beautiful and hardy metallic emerald iridescence. The shiny appearance of beetlewings is long-lasting. They are surprisingly durable if subject to normal non-abusive use.
In Thailand beetlewings of wood–boring beetles ''Sternocera spp.'', ((タイ語:แมลงทับ)), like ''Sternocera aequisignata'',〔(Life cycle of the rounded jewel beetles, Sternocera spp. วงจรชีวิตของแมลงทับกลมใช้เวลานานถึง 2 ปี - Siam Insect Zoo-Museum )〕 were preferred to decorate clothing (shawls and Sabai cloth) and jewelry in former court circles. The beetles have a short life span of 3 to 4 weeks in their adult stage. To avoid killing the beetles, only those that die of natural causes are collected.
In 19th-century India exquisite masterpieces of embroidered textiles were produced using beetlewing pieces. These cloth items have survived the passage of time without losing their splendor.〔(Antique Costumes & Textiles - Beetlewing, Early 19th century )〕
In some instances, the beetle wings will retain their natural sparkle, even though the cloth surrounding them may have decayed.
The species of beetle traditionally used in decorative work in Japan is ''Chrysochroa fulgidissima'', known also as ''Tamamushi''.
