Tiger Beetles from Indonesia, green & purple Prothyma quadriguttata

This package includes one specimen of these metallic Tiger Beetles, Prothyma quadriguttata, collected in Indonesia. They measure about 12 mm tall, without the legs. If measuring the legs also, it's more like 20mm. Most tiger beetles are this size, rather small. Color is a metallic purplish-blue-green, which can change under different lights. Some have small yellow dots on the wing cases. They are A Quality, which means that everything should be in the package and attached.

Most, if not all insects are hand raised or from sustainable and ethical sources such as insect farms and aviaries. People in third-world countries are able to plant mass crops that are more sustainable and profitable than the natural land. They are given the motivation to maintain insect populations and their habitats. A purchase from my shop helps fight extinction and the destruction of habitats worldwide. We do not stock or encourage the collection of endangered/threatened species. I do my best to purchase my insects from responsible sources, so when you purchase an insect from me, you are also helping to promote insect and native forest conservation!!! :)

I am a LICENSED IMPORTER all specimens I carry are NOT endangered AND are absolutely legal to own. For more information please head to my shop FAQ's! :)
