Summary:X-ray microtomography has been used since the year 2000’s. Many kinds of samples can be applied to be observed, especially the internal structure. However, flower beetle still lacks in literature. In this paper, the main objective is to demonstrate the capability of X-ray microtomography in entomology studies for small insects especially the flower beetle. The instrument with the software is successfully scanned to produce a quality image of Flower Beetle external and internal morphology characteristic.
