Today was a little warmer so I took a walk outside and spotted a shiny thing on the ground. Being ever curious I took a closer look. Low and behold I found a Rainbow Scarab (Phanaeus vindex). This isn't the one I collected, but it is identical.
To the Guy's_Gone_Buggy website. We here at GGB strive to excel in collection, identification and pinning of insects we find. We have listed several sites we use to identify. Please feel free to browse our site and make any comments reguarding our insects or yours.
Take note we have some interesting video of a Monarch caterpillar making it's cocoon and we also have a funny video of another Monarch caterpillar being territorial.
A note from our Lawyers:This website is not meant to be definitive in identifing insects you may have found.
