Common name - Rainbow Stag Beetle "Black Pearl"
Scientific name - Phalacrognathus muelleri "Black Pearl"
The listing is for 1x adult beetle, of a highly sought after species of Stag Beetle that is famous for their metalic, rainbow colouration as adults. This is a RARE, special bloodline from Japan that is being offered for sale for the first time ever in the UK.
This is an incredibly special bloodline by Japanese pro-breeders that combines highly desired characteristics from three separate pedigrees - firstly for "white eye", secondly for "mirror glaze" (aka. Pikal - mirror-like thorax), and thirdly for a special variation of "amethyst" that incorporates blue, pink, red and green in addition to the purple.
These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection, with this stock originating from Queensland in Australia.
The adult beetles feed on a variety of fruits such as banana, apple, pear, peach and watermelon. The larvae feed on decaying wood.
