What are the main differences between scarabs and ordinary turtles, and how to distinguish them?

1. The main difference between a scarab and an ordinary tortoise is that its back is brown or gray-black, with three obvious black vertical lines, and the middle one is the most obvious and the longest, while an ordinary tortoise does not have these characteristics.

2. There is a red edge (red meat) between the carapace and the abdominal carapace (between the tortoise shells). So it is also called red-edged turtle. No ordinary turtles?

3. The tortoise shell (tortoise shell) of the money beetle is black, with a little yellow edge, and the tortoise shell is white.

4. There are ligaments between the tortoise shell and the abdominal shell (between the tortoise shell and the tortoise shell plate) and between the chest shield and the abdominal shield, and the tortoise shell can be completely closed.

Extended data:

Scarab is a precious animal resource, full of treasures. It is of great significance and economic value in medicine, ornamental, craft making, edible and modern scientific research.

Beetles breathe with their lungs and live an amphibious life. Most of them live in canyons, streams, forks and lakes in mountainous and hilly areas, and sometimes climb into wet mountain streams, grasses and rice fields for activities. I like to bask in the sun on the land on sunny days, and hide in the dark when it is hot. I have the habit of living in groups and digging holes.
