Here is a few large beetles.
And a requisite macro.
Macro is The Buprestis rufipes.
Next two Click beetle's, Alaus oculatus.
Then a Male stag beetle, Lucanus elaphus.
Last a Male and a female Dynastes tityus, the unicorn beetle.
These are reared third generation specimens. The dark is oil in the beetle. The dark was thought a dimorphic trait at one time.
I ended with about 25 pair. Sold all 15$ a pair to a Japanese trader in insects.
