arizonablue 0 Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Ordered two of these beauties from Bugs In Cyberspace - a color variation called Hellburnt. Instead of being all black, these little guys have pale orange/brown markings! This one is very well camouflaged on his cholla! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did they get sprayed by another darkling beetle, or is it something else? Please help me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goliathus 0 Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 It's just a naturally occurring color morph of Nosoderma (Phloeodes) diabolicum, possibly from a particular area. I've only ever heard BIC use the name "Hellburnt" to refer to this morph - wonder if they came up with that name? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
