I sure do post about #rainbowstagbeetle a lot, don't I?
In the future you'll see some more variety in both my posting and later my larvae on offer. At the time of writing I have two species of beetle larvae growing.
Stay tuned to see what they grow up into!

A very shiny but very shy Flower Beetle. It scurried under just a moment after taking the photo.

Metallic shimmer in the morning light, a gentle visitor on a humble wildflower. Nature doesn’t pose — and that’s what makes her perfect. 💚💜

Empty flower beetle cocoon in an egg carton. It's made from the leaf filled soil that the grubs feed from.
Large maroon and white flower beetle. There is a blue sheen to the tips of her wings. She is just smaller than palm size about 7cm as an estimate.
Happy eclosing day to my first Blue Uganda Flower Beetle this year (Mecynorhina torquata ugandensis "Blue"). I've never reared the blue colour ones before. And she's not very blue! 😂
Hoping that there will be a male amongst the two other cocoons. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

What are your thoughts on NFT’s?
I keep getting messages about people wanting me to sell my art as NFT’s but I’ve always felt like it was a scam.
