Aphenro's Beetle Taxonomy

Please note this is a work in progress.

Came up with this to help me sort through my beetles. An added benefit is that I can quickly identify any new beetles in my terrariums. By spending a little time naming them appropriately I can quickly compare similar beetles and determine the keepers and mulchers.

Symbols:

_ Background Colour
# Pattern
$ Emerging Pattern
* Almost Finished Pattern
M Mulch


Colour Numbers:

0 Black / Dull
1 Silver
2 Red
3 Orange
4 Yellow
5 Brown / Normal
6 Green
7 Blue
8 Purple
9 White / Bright


Usage:

{Symbol}{### }{Verbiage}

Identifying number begins with one of the 4 symbols at the top of the page. This is followed by three colour numbers indicating; background colour, the most prevalent colour in the pattern; the second most prevalent colour in the pattern. Then a space and whatever identifying text you like.

In cases of solid colours the second number repeats the first and then 0/5/9 to indicate dull/normal/bright.

Examples:

_449 Bright Gold solid colour bright gold beetle
_705 Light Blue solid colour light blue/silver beetle
#201 Bright Red mixed pattern mostly red with black and silver
$Pattern 1 Pattern 1 may have various versions/colours grouped together for quick identification
*Diamonds almost showable beetle with the diamonds pattern
M beetle to be mulched
