look at this cool beetle I met today (Aromia moschata)

[bonefall]

is there a word for beetle in clanmew ? realizing that uhh. my man beetlestalk cant introduce himself atm LAWL /silly

There's a few and it depends on the sort of beetle! See, there's three general 'classes' of beetle, which they would have words for.

ROUND, STINKY Beetle = "Owssub"

We're talking ladybugs (Coccinella septempunctata), bloodnoses (Timarcha tenebricosa), and some insects that Clan cats would class as beetles like shieldbugs. All fat, oval or circular bugs are in this category.

Not all of them actively spray attackers, but it's enough of a problem that all Owssub are treated with caution. It's thought all of them can, but some of them are just docile.

THIN, LONG beetle = "Lebub"

Red soldier beetles (Rhagonycha fulva), all types of longhorn beetle, musk beetles (Aromia moschata), click beetles, etc.

Most of these are safe to eat and relatively harmless, though musk beetles can be stinky. So this would be the softer, cuter term.

BITE Beetle = "Gnombub"

Rove beetles, tiger beetles, and earwigs (Forficula auricularia) though they aren't proper beetles.

All members of this species are seen as formidable hunters and honorable foes, bravely standing against cats many times their size. They're adored and respected as animals by Clan cats.

The Green Tiger Beetle (Cicindela campestris), and the Devil's Coachhorse (Ocypus olens) have unique names of their own-- Holrokach and Uboraor. Green-Claw and Black-Tiger. It's related to the basis of the TigerClan myths. This, plus the legend's association with tabby patterns caused the translator to make "gaor" into "tiger" to match leopards and lions.

Below the spoiler is a real beetle with a big butt. Booty Beetle, if you will.

Beetles that des Eseeintes would keep:

Zopherus beetles would enable him to realise the project he attempted with a turtle with far greater success. Those beetles are frequently used in Mexico as living brooches, fake jewels glued onto them as well as a chain to pin to your clothing. Jean des Esseintes would definately glue some semi-precious stones to their exoskeletons and then enjoy a terrarium full of shining creatures. Perhaps he'd even wear one as a brooch.

Musk beetle (Aromia moschata) not only glimmers like a piece of stained glass in a cathedral, it also emits a musk like scent. That little gentleman is born a dandy already clothed and perfumed.

Madagaskar Giraffe Weevils (Trachelophorus giraffa) would be in eyes of many decadents a delightful display of unorthodox beauty. They move in a manner more reminescent of a clockwork toy than of a living creature and I think this appearance of artificiality would be so alluring to aesthetes and decadents.

With that being said I'm afraid a beetle collection in hands of duke des Esseintes would share the fate of his flowers, that is die of neglect as soon as he experiences his next period of malady.

I've met two handsome fellows on walks the past few days.

A trichius fasciatus, common name eurasian bee beetle. (Humlebagge in swedish)

And a very big strong Aromia moschata, common name musk beetle (myskbock in swedish)

[firebugseverywhere]

To me this is one of the most beautiful creatures on earth: the Aromia moschata, commonly referred to as "musk beetle" in English. I got the chance to encounter this pretty beetle twice so far.

One time in Berlin,

and the second time in Bavaria.

Part One How Musk is made? It is a question that the Perfumist gets consistently asked, is your musk oil pure musk? Before we answer this we have to first understand what musk is, as rarely any house or company try to explain this to their clients and many just put the label (real musk) on their products or try the symbolize the idea that they used natural products without explaining what musk is and how they use it. For the house of the Perfumist, Musk is a natural substance with dark/black color that usually has a strong odor and is used by animals for mating and attraction as the scent of the musk has strong pheromones that usually the male animal produces to attract the females in the mating season. Even though musk can refer to many substances such as the African musk or civet, or various synthetic musks whose compound exhibits some character of deer musk. other animals also produce musk in very small amounts that are not sufficient to be used in perfumery or medicine such animals are muskox, the musk shrew, the musk beetle (Aromia moschata), the musk turtle (Sternotherus odoratus), the American alligator of North America. When we speak about Musk here we speak specifically about the deer musk or the seven species of deer musk which are 1- Moschiferus or what is also knowns as the Russian musk or the Siberian musk deer which lives in Northeast Asia 2- Anhuiensis or the Chinese musk Anhui musk deer, which lives in Eastern China 3- Berezovskii or the Dwarf musk deer or what is known as the Tonkin musk that exists in South China and Northern Vietnam 4- Fuscus or the Black musk deer or what is known as the Himalayan musk which lives in Eastern Himalayas, is little different and hardly distinguished from the following one 5- Chrysogaster or the Alpine musk deer which is not white in color and has a slightly different shape which lives in Eastern Himalayas 6- Cupreus or Kashmir musk deer, also known as the Indian musk or the Assam Musk exists in Western Himalayas and Hindu Kush region. 7- leucogaster or the White-bellied musk deer distinguished for its white dotted belly and these species exist in Central Himalayas. . . . #theperfumist (at Houston, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnP8clPOIZ7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@jadenettle101​ submitted: A nice bug i fished out of a swimming pool. Quite a big little dude, around 4 cms long ( Poland )

What a man! Or woman. Glad they were rescued. Definitely a longhorn beetle, probably a musk beetle, Aromia moschata!
