(Ad updated for current availability - Sept 2021)

Available for sale, rarely offered -

PM me if interested.

*** Please note: Buyers must accept full responsibility and risks upon buying. Although I'd be happy to accommodate any shipping preferences, it is your responsibility to know the risks and implications involved in importing these insects from across the border.

I am located in Ontario, Canada. Please inquire for shipping costs (I use UPS Standard or expedited service). I accept PayPal payments only and payment must be made in advance.
Shipping at buyer's own risk, no live arrival guarantee. I cannot take responsibility for DOA resulting from shipping and delivery delays or any other reasons that are beyond my control. I pack all my inverts in the best possible way and add insulation in the parcel when needed, but will gladly follow the buyer's instructions if they have a preference for packing. These are very hardy species and I rarely have DOA, however if there is DOA the buyer must let me know immediately (6 hr. from acceptance of parcel, buyer must be able to sign the package at first delivery attempt) and attach photos. I will try to resolve the situation.

Agreed - those are spectacular beetles!  There seems to be no end to the form and variety among the cetoniine scarabs.  Another colorful species is Torynorrhina flammea, which has red, green, & blue forms -

Ischiopsopha lucivorax is another unusual one -

Also, Ischiopsopha jamesi -

Both are from Papua New Guinea, and measure around 30 mm.

You said it.  Being in the US is extra frustrating for me cause I live right on the border between Canada and Maine.. 😵

That's rough. I think we still have some pretty colorful native species here though, like Gymnetis thula, some Euphoria spp., Phanaeus spp., and Chrysina spp., although obviously none as beautiful as this. Even the common Cotinis nitida and mutabilis are quite pleasant looking in my opinion.

Yeah I'd really like to give some Phaneus vindex but I can't seem to find any record of them being in Maine.  They've been found in Vermont so I'm pretty sure I could find them in southern Maine but that's a long ways away in terms of having to set pitfalls and check them for a few days.

Last night I set some dung pitfalls to look for Geotrupes splendidus which is supposedly one of the more colorful beetles around here.
