Dynastes Satanas

The most expensive Beetle on market right now!

This beetle has a Satanas in his scientific name! In this part I don't have a minimum information about why that is how they are called. What I know is that they are super awsome and are really hard to find.

They live in South America, Bolivia specifically, and are extremely hard to catch. Also, because of their cold and wet environment, to breed these beetles are really hard.

They, as all the Dynastes family, are really big in size. They can get up to 11cm long!

Oxysternon conspicillatum

The beetle that has an artificial green color.


This  insect is really special for its cool color.

They live in middle Europe, places where sunshine hit them directly, that is the reason why they have this color to reflect the sunshine so they don't dehydrate so easily.

These beetles are uncommon, but their family can be found worldwide. There are a lot of different colors like red, blue, green, red and black, green and black, etc...

Their size is about 5cm and are really cute!

Not common on the markets.
