Episcapha quadrimacula is a species of beetle from the erotylodae family which is famous for its striking body color, the name of this species refers to its main physical characteristics, namely the four bright colored spots found on its elite (I protect the species), this beetle is easy to find in various places of Asia, especially in tropical forests and humid forests, and I felt very lucky because I found Episcapha quadrimacula in the garden on a rotten areca palm tree, I noticed this beetle was looking for food from the fungus powder that grew on the areca nut tree, and this gave me a lot of knowledge to me today about species.

The Episcapha quadrimacula beetle has a medium body size with an average length of 7-11 mm, its body is oval and flat, with a black base color, the most prominent characteristic of the Episcapha quadrimacula beetle is the yellow stripe found between the black on the wings of the species. , and this is also what makes Episcapha quadrimacula look different from other species in the episcapha genus, while the head and thorax of this beetle are dark black, but still have a metallic sheen. heart-warming, the dark black color makes it difficult for us to differentiate between the beetle's eyes and mouth, yeah it's a miracle that the Episcapha quadrimacula beetle has, and they are a beautiful hidden gem.
