Best beetles?

[Owinlovesfalsewidows]

I want suggestions on pretty,fairly accessible beetles, that is all.

Dynastes are usually available here in the States. Some stage of larva, if not an adult.

Mealworms, superworms, buffalo beetles, dermestid beetles. What? I like them.

I already have a small elodes (I live in the Mohave desert) and some mealworms and buffalo beetles...I'm probably gonna get a dermested at some point...

 

[Ratmosphere]

Definitely Dynastes tityus, Dynastes grantii, or Lucanus elaphus.

How about a few Asbolus verrucosus? I saw a video about them on one of the well respected bug channels on YouTube the other day, they look awesome and they live a long time.
