Honestly_Vitali Posted August 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2020 That is definitely him! Thanks so much! Was thinking female because I'm used to taking care of rhino beetles and this little guy doesn't have the big horns, but he does have his cool, big, feathery antennas! They seem to eat pine needles. He wasn't really interested in the beetle jelly. I'll try to get him some today! I'd love to watch him eat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teneb fan Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 How beautiful! I saw this documentary film on public TV about the Japanese people's love for beetles: http://beetlequeen.com/home.html One young Japanese man collects beetles to sell wholesale. It's his whole career, not a side job. He drives a FERRARI ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
