Elytra
All beetles share the characteristic of having short, hard front wings, called elytra. When a beetle folds its wings, the elytra cover its whole abdomen.
Beetle's hardened forewings are elytra; a single one is elytrum However, elytron is an alternative spelling and therefore essential to satisfy PEPIN at 18 across.
Elytra are the shell-like fore-wings of some insects, especially beetles.
No they do not, only members of Coleoptera (beetles) and some Heteroptera (true bugs) do. Elytra (modified forewings)protect the delicate hind wings underneath, as well as help the insect with lift, they do not propel the insect in flight. Only the hindwings do. Some species have the elytra fused together, so they cannot fly.
This is not a beetle. It is a fly (Diptera).

All beetles have an elytra, a hard leathery covering instead of their front wing. Grasshoppers also have an elytra along with members of that order of insects. The elytra on beetles is a different. That elytra distinguishes beetles from other orders of insects.
Rhino beetles like most other beetles have 2 pairs of wings, 4 wings in total. However, the front pair of wings are not used in flight. They have evolved into hard covers called elytra which protect the hind wings which are folded up underneath them when the beetle is not flying.
