Did you get them from peter? Very fine looking beetle, if you get more then you can probably breed them using this method: http://beetleforum.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=2473&hl=amblycheila

Nope, collected it myself last night. If I do come across more, I'll see if I can coax some egg deposition.
