Wow!!!! The red one is just stunning! I gotta catch one at this stage in my G. chevrolat breeding and photograph.

Thank you

Not sure if you know this info already so I'm going to post it here. When you get cocoons from this species, I would recommend drilling a tiny hole just enough to make a pupa barely visible and check the hole everyday to see if the specimen has emerged. That should allow you to catch one at a teneral stage

Hoping to see some cool photographs from you

Wow! Congrats! That's a really stunning little trio!

Thank you, and yes! It is definitely one of the most stunningly colored beetle I've seen in my life
