Thank you all, it was really exciting to see the development, I did not document all of it, though I did get to witness the mating, got to see the eggs and reared them from there.

Just gotta say it warms my heart to see such stunning photos of one of the world's most beautiful insects! I got an insect book when I was eight and wore its pages flipping back and forth. This beetle was always one of my favorite photos in the book and I'll never forget the first time I heard one of them buzzing in and landing like a helicopter.

Great shots! 
Such pretty creatures these are.
I got five (I think first instar) larva of these I should have at least one male and one female from them.
