Blue Death Feigning Beetles
Anyone keeping these? I just had a trio arrive today. They immediately faked their deaths when I moved them. Took about 15 minutes for them to come 'round, and now they are happily munching on fish flakes. They seem starved. Guess it was a long, cold trip!
Here they are death feigning.
And two of the three eating their flakes.

Re: Blue Death Feigning Beetles
Wow they are so cool looking they almost look like fake rubber bugs lol. That's pretty funny that they play dead. Kinda reminds me of the fainting goats thanks for sharing

Must now get blue death beetles sooooooo cool
Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

I have to ask, where did you find them? Lol I've never seen them before but they are so cool. Now I'm off to find a care sheet so I can see if it's feasible.

I like beetles too.
Never kept one as a pet - apparently some of the larger species are (relatively??) popular pets in Asia.
We had an infestation of large beetles on our fruit trees last summer. Big, beautiful metallic jewel toned beetles. Eating fruit must be part of the end of their life cycle, because I'd find them dead in the hundreds all over the ground (no, we don't spray). They kept their colour even in death, so I brought one in to admire. It is still on the mantle - dusty, now, but very pretty.

I'd find these Shiney green metallic ones around here too I read their a type of June bug and I know if they get too hot they die that's why they would only come out during twilight hours
