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.
