Franky looks so sweet!!! Super happy for you! Atlas beetles are my absolute favorite beetle, this is so awesome to see!! Hope to see more of little Franky as you get to know eachother
You'll definitely see more of him, I've had an idea in mind for a long time about Atlas beetles and I can finally do it, next video should be a fun one!
good to see that the larva is doing well, an also what a fine addition regarding the atlas beetle. since i frequently shared my progress with my MTU's in your comment section i might as well do that now. i got up to 15 larvae out of my pair. it's a really uplifting occurrence since only one female of my four original specimen survived pupation (i had to buy a additional male). cant wait to see the beautiful deep blue/brilliant green colour of these little buggers. hope your larva will be doing well in the future! keep it up
Haha, I love the updates! Glad to read about the larvae, got a pretty good count to work with and I hope they all make it to adulthood and grow into that beautiful imago. Hope we both succeed with our beetle ventures and when you do, make sure to share pics on instagram or something haha. Would love to see em!
Glad to hear from you, I've been MIA myself too lmao, hope you've been well. Franky is an awesome boy, what a great gift from a great friend! I've always been interested in the atlas beetle since it was my very first mushiking card 😂
I ❤ Franky. Ever since I started watching this channel I keep finding cool beetles. I saw a flat bark beetle on the side of my house, I had to move a big headed ground beetle out of my garage, and I found a rove beetle in the back yard. I think it was dying, unfortunately, but I got to see it flip its abdomen up at me like a scorpion, which was pretty cool.
I feel you with the eggs, bro. So much can go wrong, and I lost a lot of my tityus early on. But I’m so glad a metallifer grub made it! And franky is one hell of a beetle, your American friend is a real one.
It was a great time with him around, honestly couldn't have asked for a better present! Really crossing my fingers for my metallifer to pull through to adulthood
im not very active with beetles for the past year (im now into the crab hobby) but i still do an annual xylotrupes hunt when october strikes i have a tiny little protaetia metallica that i saved from being baked by the sun
you love beetle so much . maybe you like to come at insect discovery 2024 in july 28 at ATC Cosmos square, Osaka. its so fun and its a great content for your channel.
Aww man, I'm going to be busy in July but I might be able to go to the September or November event! I've checked out your instagram and you're awesome, do you ever rent a stall/booth for that event?
You'll need some import permits and only certain species are allowed. It'll be much easier to get beetles domestically tho, thankfully there's a couple of amazing options such as the Blue death feigning or larger ones like Hercules and Goliath beetles

Wow, you started Mushiking off with a bang haha, I want to say mine was some Dorcus species but can't say for sure. Hope you've been doing well too :D
Just found this channel! Can't wait to see more. 😮
Thank you! I really appreciate it

That's awesome to hear man and those are some pretty sick finds! Keep the search going, it's so fun and rewarding to find new insects :D

FRANKY IS SO CUTE
He sure is haha
I love beetles!
Ayy me too! They're just so wonderful
im not very active with beetles for the past year (im now into the crab hobby) but i still do an annual xylotrupes hunt when october strikes
i have a tiny little protaetia metallica that i saved from being baked by the sun
That's awesome, I hope the best luck for you upcoming hunt. Also, you are a hero to that lil one :D
I like franky. Very glossy exoskeleton
He sure is a beauty!
Nice!
Thank you :)
Frankly is so shiny :0
So shiny that it confuses my poor camera haha
i thought the thumbnail says "Freaky" instead of Franky💀
Haha yea, maybe I should've made a proper thumbnail...
I love the video
Ahh thanks, I'm sure Franky would be delighted to hear that haha
you got a free beetle too?! I won a derby flower beetle recently as well! 😂
Ayyy nice! That's a beautiful beetle!
I love frankly so cute
Same here, I've randomly recorded so much b-roll of him haha
Woahh, this is so cool, I got a rainbow stag beetle a couple months ago I see why u think beetles are so cool
Rainbow stags are like a gateway drug to beetle keeping haha. They were my first beetle buy
Will you get a a mate for Franky the Atlas Beetle?
Unfortunately no, as much as I want to try breeding them, I don't really have the space.
I love Franky but the narrative visuals annoyed me because I wanted to see beetle
Ooh I see, I'll try to show the beetle more next time! I definitely overdid it to try to appeal to the UA-cam editing meta

Does anyone know how to bring a beetle back to the us?

hi Franky
Franky is pleased haha
