I can send adult beetles to UK addresses ONLY for the time being, due to the international delays with the coronavirus situation. Any overseas orders of adult beetles will be cancelled.
The listing is for 1x adult beetle, of a very beautiful species of flower beetle that was very recently brought into the hobby in 2019. The adults are a metallic purple, with a dollop of creamy ivory in the centre.
These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection, with this stock originating from Zimbabwe.
The adult beetles feed on a variety of fruits such as banana, apple, pear, peach and watermelon. The larvae feed on decaying wood and leaf litter.
