Haha

. There is something kind of strange about these. They have a really nice smell! They don't smell like the defense smell the adults have. When I open the containers they are in, there is a strong, perfumey smell there, ..pretty weird! The smell is like a flower of some kind, something like that

It's just as funny for somebody to say, "Yeah, I know what you mean.."

Man!, that was fast. Here it is. I may have seen this species running around but I sure don't remember it if I have. The elytra are smooth, black and shiny, with some natural pitting.

Galapoheros · 11-06-2009, 01:52 PM

I looked around a little for a pic on the internet but I don't think I saw the sp.

WOW! really cool!

TomTheBugGuy · 11-07-2009, 01:24 AM

that thing looks sinister. i definitely want to see that thing feed.

ZergFront · 11-07-2009, 01:28 AM

Wow, cool. Can you post some feeding videos?

I love the jet black combined with the slight blue undertones. Will you look for mates for it?

Galapoheros · 11-07-2009, 01:34 AM

Hehe, it's grown, no more growing. I have that other one, it hasn't transformed yet. It'd be cool if it was the opposite sex. I don't think these are real common around here. I don't think I've seen them but that doesn't mean a whole lot, though I do keep an eye out for the bug stuff.
