According to the link provided by Philippe - English version here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cetonia_aurata
"The metallic green coloration of the beetle is created
structurally,[2] caused by the reflection of mostly circularly
polarised light; like other scarabs this is left circularly
polarised. When viewed through a right circular polariser, the beetle
appears to be colorless. There are also different colors besides the
common green; there is also copper, grey and black."
If I take one of the circular polarisers used with my OM4, is that
either left or right polarised? If I turn it the other way round,
does the polarisation change?
No bugs like that here to try it on and the flights I booked to
Greece have been cancelled.
