+Order, Coleoptera, (Beetles). Many beetles are colored so as
+to resemble the surfaces which they habitually frequent, and they thus
+escape detection by their enemies. Other species, for instance, diamond-beetles, are ornamented
+with splendid colors, which are often arranged in stripes, spots, crosses,
+and other elegant patterns.  Such colors can hardly serve directly as a protection, except in the case
+of certain flower-feeding species; but they may serve as a warning or means of
+recognition, on the same principle as the
+phosphorescence of the glow-worm.
+As with beetles the colors of the two sexes are generally alike, we have
+no evidence that they have been gained through sexual selection; but this is
+at least possible, for they may have been developed in one sex and then
+transferred to the other; and this view is even in some degree probable
+in those groups which possess other well-marked secondary
+sexual characters. Blind beetles, which cannot, of course, behold each
+other's beauty, never, as I hear from Mr. Waterhouse, Jr., exhibit bright
+colors, though they often have polished coats; but the explanation of their
+obscurity may be that they generally inhabit caves and other obscure stations.
