The hard exoskeleton composed of [[chitin]] that covers the wings of a beetle (''Coleopter''). Elytra provide protection from heat, wind, and moisture evaporation allowing beetles to live in adverse conditions, such as a desert environment. Beetles typically have two wings folded under a pair of elytra that meet in the center of the back and usually extend to the tip of the abdomen.  Beetle elytra are often have bright jewel-tone colors.  Many also have an iridescence due to the interference of light between the multiple layers of chitin.
