The invention discloses a beetle shard-imitated impact resisting material and belongs to the technical field of impact resisting materials. The beetle shard-imitated impact resisting material is designed based on the principle that a hardest-soft-harder-hardest rigid-flexible coupling system formed a photonic crystal structure and a multilayer structure in beetle shard has excellent impact resistance to the action of external force. The beetle shard-imitated impact resisting material comprises a bottom layer, a layer group I, a layer group II, a layer group III, a third layer, a photonic crystal structural layer, a fourth layer and a top layer; the top layer and the bottom layer are thicker than other layers, are hardest parts in the material and can protect the material from being damaged; the photonic crystal structure belongs to a soft part in the beetle shard-imitated impact resisting material and can better resist an impact force from the upper part compared with the multilayer structure; the photonic crystal structure absorbs energy and then releases the energy by using structural characteristics and material toughness thereof and protect the structure below the photonic crystal structure; the soft-hard combined multilayer structure can resist tensile force and impact force from the side; by combining the photonic crystal structure with the multilayer structure, impact forces from different directions can be resisted.
