English: A series of iridescent beetles in the Hunterian Museum at the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

These specimens were acquired by Charles Stewart in the 1890s. Some show bright iridescent colours. These result from the refraction of ligh rather than pigments in the tissues. Others are examples of protective colouration and mimicry to camouflage against predators.
