This item will provide you with 1x Purple Phalacrognathus muelleri lava.
Phalacrognathus muelleri is a stag beetle species that originates from Australia. They are famously known for their distinctive rainbow-colored elytra. Adult males possess large, curved mandibles, which serve as weapons during combat with rival males. In contrast, the smaller mandibles of the female beetles enable them to burrow into decaying trees for egg-laying purposes. The adults have a long life span and can live up to 2 years depending on the husbandry, which makes them an excellent pet for hobbyists.
Beetle larvae go through 3 different larval phases: L1, L2, and L3. After the L3 stage, the larva pupates to turn into an adult beetle!
