I alway try and contribute topics and discussions on Coleoptera but never gets the same responds as Lepidoptera. I guess there're more people who are interested in beautiful collours than...... just black or brown.  That's what makes butterfly beautiful are colours. |

Try the coleoptera section of the forum insectnet.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=coleopteraOh I was eating some Indonesian meijin animal themed biscuits and one had a beetle pictured and next to it read "lucky colour brown" lmao  the whale one reads "biggesy mammal" WoW entomofou, nice pictures, thanks for sharing, you really bring the colours out  |
