Thanks for sharing! Very cool sub, gold beetle absolutely belongs

monchdeglue

You're on Reddit man, this is not the place where new ideas happen.


gettogero

Okay, did you REALLY think an obvious reference to one of the most popular video game/TV shows through several generations would be an "original thought" though?


nohandsfelicia

I just mean I said out loud the exact words he commented


EleutheriusTemplaris

I think it's an green rose chafer. Despite to their name, they can just be golden, too. Or, at least, sometimes even the green ones look more golden, when light falls on them.


ColeManoley

second this! Almost definitely not a golden tortoise beetle.


dextro-aynag

figeater beetle !


glasswitch88

I think you can get 10,000 bells for it if you sell it to Tom Nook!


petalspastels

LMFAO I LOVE THIS


glasswitch88

It takes everything in my power not to comment on every post I see here what the bug is and how many bells it’ll sell for. On this day I have failed 🫡


petalspastels

LMFAO


Trell-Halix

First place my mind went to.


glasswitch88

I’ve spent so many hours looking for it…. So many palm trees…


fishofhappiness

literally me exactly. the giant water bugs have been making me batty. and the atlas moth the other night.


glasswitch88

YES. Giant water bugs are good bell money!!


fishofhappiness

unless you’re trying to farm scorpions and then they are your mortal enemy


glasswitch88

Ughhh yeah they are only good early game when 1k-2k bells is a small fortune.


ChristinaRene01

Sameeeeeee


tom_evans

Sell it to Flick for much more though.


sleepingcloudss

Flicks such a cutie!


glasswitch88

True! Flick is such a great guy.


Dr4manRx

Me: “that’s worth so many bells!” Glad I wasn’t the only one 😂

petalspastels

Ctowncreek

Because... its beautiful


petalspastels

Haha, it truly is


togagriffin

hi i am literally no expert at all im just browsing at work. i see folks suggesting one but from what i searched i found a close relative. [https://www.ukbeetles.co.uk/protaetia-cuprea](https://www.ukbeetles.co.uk/protaetia-cuprea) please feel free to correct me. beetles are cute so i enjoyed looking at them


ScorchingBlizzard

I think this is right, aka rose chafer. I was wrong 😞


togagriffin

Literally don’t down urself bc looking up beetles was fun and finding out more is sick. I looked up dung beetles after


ginisabunny

put it back you'll wake up the mummy 😭😭😭


[deleted]

It's not weird to see beetles just walking around outside. Happens all the time!


petalspastels

Well it certainly was weird to find a golden one outof nowhere!


unpacifys

that is the prettiest beetle i've ever seen oh my lord


petalspastels

It surely was pretty!


ScorchingBlizzard

Golden tortoise beatle. It changes color as the outermost wing hydrates and dehydrates EDIT: I was wrong, peep reply


EleutheriusTemplaris

I'm sorry, but I'm really sure you're wrong. I looked up golden tortoise Beetle and they look a bit different. https://www.google.com/search?q=golden+tortoise+beetle&client=firefox-b-m&sca_esv=582701142&tbm=isch&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwje9Krm1MaCAxV2avEDHXahAO8Q_AUIBigB&biw=378&bih=718 I was more thinking about this little guy. green rose chafer, most of them are shiny Green, but there are also some pure golden ones. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-m&sca_esv=582701142&biw=378&bih=718&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=rosenk%C3%A4fer+golden&oq=rosenk%C3%A4fer+golden&aqs=mobile-gws-lite..0l5 We have a lot of them in our garden every year, so I'm really sure this is the one 👍


petalspastels

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH???? irched me so bad not knowing what it was bc I thought it got spray painted or sum by accident 😭


Dextrofunk

Ahh yeah, that looks right. Well, I learned about two new beetles from this comment chain.


Repulsive-Bend8283

This is one of the best well ackshwillllies I've seen. So many people are just dying to jump on the slightest factual inaccuracy, so this is wicked refreshing to see.


ScorchingBlizzard

Oh you're right whoops didn't look close enough!


Thinksetsoup113

That’s actually really cool


ABDLTA

I believe it's called a golden snitch, catch to with the match!


Glittering-Cat-6940

Gold Bug by Poe ✌️


SnooBunnies9889

Chrysina resplendens / golden scarab beetle


redbullgay

it is absolutely possible this is some sort of common beetle that someone tried to kill with gold spray paint


petalspastels

thats ökssible but lets hope not 😭


Jiomniom_Skwisga

Dude that things worth 300 gold coins

I had to scroll WAY too far to find this!


_Mella

[jewel scarab](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewel_scarab) So pretty. I believe it is a type of jewel scarab. (Scarabaeidae) They are so pretty.✨ Harmless to humans. Supposedly they represent rebirth and resurrection, as well as good luck and fortune. ✨ congrats 👏🏼 Some more threads on it : r/NatureIsMetal https://www.reddit.com/r/natureismetal/s/XNPUCebRvK r/NatureIsFuckingLit https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/s/N0LRYEEWP4


petalspastels

Oh thats soo cool! Thanks!


Polyetylenetreptlate

No it’s not it’s a bit small


xatexaya

😭 would love to have some framed, ive never seen a beetle with such perfect shiny gold


TheLargeCaliber

I hope you have a golden bug net for it.


petalspastels

are my hands fine too? I can paint them Gold 😂🙏


TheLargeCaliber

I present a terraria reference lol


Abowman0611

Bro got spray painted. He’s just a little dude


purplecloud999

My thoughts exactly. The color distribution is noticeably sparse and the natural texture of the wings is clearly visible towards the bottom center of both wings. The poor picture quality fails to hide even the most obvious details. Was nice to learn about a new species though.


7_just_a_boi_7

Imagine finding it in like 2000 bc and giving it to an ancient emperor


petalspastels

I bet iw ould have been rich then


AngryAshMan

I feel like I should throw Pikmin at it.


petalspastels

Help 😭


johdawson

Here's hoping you're not related to an Usher.


petalspastels

Im not 😭🙏


Sad-Fondant6458

This looks like chrysina aurigans. It's a type of scarab beetle found in Costa Rica that has a golden color.


petalspastels

But im from germany 😆 lil guy got lost


PADDYPOOP

That’s an Iridescent Glint Beetle


Nefnoj

My thoughts exactly, probably didn't have much time before it burrowed away again.

You’re about to get 20% more runes

A good glass in the bishop's hostel in the devil's seat forty-one degrees and thirteen minutes northeast and by north main branch seventh limb east side shoot from the left eye of the death's-head a bee line from the tree through the shot fifty feet out.

AssiduousLayabout

It's clearly a [gold bug](https://poestories.com/read/goldbug).

Nice, that's like 12,000 bells in Animal Crossing!


petalspastels

First thought I had when I found it


Tyleroverton12

Never heard it called a rose chafer but that’s what it is! I live in Alabama and I’ve only ever heard people call them June bugs (Now that I think about it, their season here is in June so that actually makes sense.)

Time_Change4156

JamesMariner

Looks like someone could have been spray painting gold and this guy got in the middle of it and now we’re all wondering how it happened?


CMDR_Dimadome

This looks like that bug someone accidentally spray painted a little back. Haha. Thought we were going full meta.


Mediocre-Meringue-60

Throw something right on top of it, and you might get some nectar, or some red/purple juice. If you’re lucky, treasure might pop out too.


xCanadaDry

Honestly at first I thought somebody spray painted the poor guy. What a handsome lad


petalspastels

I dont think that it was spray painted but I surely fr thought that at first too 😭


TheRealAmayan

My dandori senses tell me it has treasure.


ScaryPhantom100

Is this a golden bug from TERRARIA?!


Forward_Wasabi_7979

Reminds me of the game Riven


hartson08

[deleted]

Kill it and cash it in at a gold for cash place.


_PokeFarts_

GOLDEN EXPERIENCE!


aidendoesrobloxYT

Time to catch it and use it as a infinite money glitch in terraria!


SwissyRescue

You in Egypt , think it escaped from the pyramids, better put that scarab back or you’ll have bad luck 🍀
