Rainbow frog-leg beetle, Sagra buqueti. First of all, the awesome Frog Legged Beetle remains a most unusual species of beetle. Its common name derives from the rather striking resemblance of its hind legs to those of a frog. But, these remarkable appendages are no evolutionary quirk, because they serve an important function. Powerful legs help the remarkable insect hold tightly to the stems of various plants. In this manner, the surprising invertebrate remains firmly attached while feeding. This beautifully colored insect also sometimes goes by the name of the kangaroo beetle. By whatever name one calls it, researchers remain unable to acquire sufficient data about it. Due to this, therefore, the IUCN does not have a listing for it, as of this moment, due to insufficient information.
