Congo Sunbeetle (Pachnoda marginata peregrina)

That's pretty species of beetle.

Thats alot of them!

I've kept several species of Pachnoda over the years and they're wonderful critters - they breed really easily if kept correctly too.

This is the commonest captive one but I don't personally think it's the prettiest - currently I have P. aemula and P. trimaculata, which are more glossy than these and with spots as well as the yellow outlines. The trimaculata also have a nice tinge of red to the yellow bands.
