Welcome to Beetlemania, home of beetle breeders and bug lovers (and a few bugs too).

Latest Breaking News!
THE GOD KHEFRE FAVORS SAQQ & SW
By Merit


Year 2, Akhet II-2, Saqqarah - Earlier today, a spokesperson for the Gods announced that Khefre has taken pity on the people of Saqqarah and Stillwater and has decided to move their Level 1 Scarab Gardens closer to the Chariot Stop in each region.

"The Saqqarah one is now located at 676, -859," the spokesperson said. "The Stillwater Garden will be moved once the Garden is empty of contestants.

With respect to the last statement, that means that the Stillwater Level 1 Garden needs more judges. BUG members and bug fans everywhere take note -- run, don't walk to your nearest Chariot Stop and gallop faithfully to SW. Their Garden is still located at 1730, 3760.

Meanwhile, Saqq citizens received the news of the new location for their Beetle Garden with glee. It is visible from the CS and a short walk across a field. This reporter thinks it won't be long before we'll be seeing Level 1 contestants erecting their beetle statues in Saqq.

Breeding Tips

Here those within the guild can put their tips for breeding that would complement the intro guide. When posting tips, please do so in bullet form and end your tip with your name.

  • One method of refining a pattern on your beetle is to breed it with another beetle that has a very similar geometric pattern to it. - Jeremiah
  • The best way (one of) to get good looking beetles is to keep mix breeding with other peoples beetles(save your %100's to bring up the % number though!) - Ari
  • If you are going to be away for awhile, make sure to remove your beetles from the terrarium so that you don't run out of cabbage. -
  • Another good way to bring your owner percentage up is to breed your wild beetles together. They will produce some patterned and/or colored beetles that will be 100% yours. Then breed those to your works of art that are lower ownership percentage to raise the percent and possibly pick up the patterns/colors you are working with. - Ari via Merit
  • Note that if you leave your beetles in a terrarium longer than three or four hours, especially if there are lots of them, you run the danger of them eating each other. - Merit
