How to keep these beetles?

[Techuser]

I always find this kind of beetle in my garden

I think i will get some to raise them :drool:
What do i need? Can i feed them with fruits and petals?
How should be the setup of the terrarium?
I never had beetles before, know nothing about a beetle culture

I don't know that specie, but I think that it belongs to Cetonidae family (former subfamily in Scarabaeidae).

You should try to keep them as other close relatives (like Pachnoda, Protaetia, Cetonia ect.).

Check this page:

This site should be the best source of information for you.

Good luck! ...and you are lucky that you live in Brazil ;P

I agree with Raptor,
kkep them in a mixture of potting soil,decayed wood and lots of leafmold feed them fruits like apple,banana,watermelon.
good luck!
Perhaps you can send me some to try to breed them too!!!!
