Lots of people have been requesting "tiny and pretty" beetles, and these have been a great solution. They are Platycorynus nitidus (used to be C. auratus, I believe) from Java, package of 5. Metallic green, mostly, with hints of orange, red & blue. They measure only 15mm or slightly less. Measurement does not include legs, it's body only. See the size of them in my hand for reference. They're about the size of a large ladybug or a potato beetle. These came in a five pack this time, packaged 5 to a card, as you can see in some of the photos here. The legs are generally not sticking out, but they are easy to manipulate if you wish.

Etsy Purchase Protection: Shop confidently on Etsy knowing if something goes wrong with an order, we've got your back for all eligible purchases — see program terms

I do offer a 20% wholesale discount if you order more than $100 worth of unmounted insects. Please read the following carefully- by using my coupon code, you agree to my terms.
1) The discount applies only to orders made up entirely of unmounted insects. Unmounted insects are any insects that I don't have to prepare for you, so it's pretty much everything in my shop except for prepared ("spread") butterflies and jewelry. Papered butterflies and even laminated butterflies are fine for the discount.
2) Insects sold as A Quality will be in that condition generally. However, due to the numbers of specimens involved these species won't be as carefully checked for quality and one may find occasional imperfections.
