Are they pretty much wild or do they tend to dwell in urban settings? I could see being bothered by them if they were in my apartment breeding, but I think it would be neat to see them flying around outside. I heard that Fla gets some really pretty exotic -- almost tropical -- beetles. I want to go somewhere tropical just to look at the beetles. Big, shiny, metallic, herbivores (well, most beetles are herbivorous anyway...) I think I've seen some stag beetles and rhinoceros (sp?) beetles, on the east coast, but they are tiny in comparison with their tropical cousins. > > --jojo > www.tofu2go.com > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
