Beetles Under Glass (BUG)
Welcome to Beetles Under Glass (BUG), home of beetle breeders and bug lovers (and a few bugs too).
Who we are
Beetles Under Glass was created to provide a central home for those that wished to share their knowledge of beetle breeding as well as hear and learn from the experiences of others.
Anyone with a love of beetle breeding, from the novice to the expert, is welcome to join us and our motley crew.
BUG is a strong supporter of the beetle garden competitions and highly encourages its members to go and vote when active ones open up.
Rules
We only have one real rule. That everyone within our guild respect one another while realizing that people are different.
Location
Our guildhall is currently located in Sterope 1991,-2039 near to the Chariot Stop.
Facilities
Guild Cabbage Farm compound and Public Kitchen in a 23 cabbage zone. Sterope 4955, -2070.
From the Sterope CS, take the road all the way to the east coast. Cabbage farm is on the South side of the road. Guild members are free to add a private chest.
A beetle showroom cp is located near the BUG guildhall. This is currently where the chest containing rubies for statues is located. We are planning to have a few terrariums set up in this showroom for members to show their beetles for the purpose of trading.
Current Projects
- Small rubies available for beetle statues. In a chest at the guild cp, ask an elder.
- Suggestion - Clinker vat stirring party for cement - Tazendra
- Making four terrariums for BUG Beetle Showroom compound - all members are welcome to donate materials. Just stash them in the chest in the guild cp.

Breeding Tips
- Here's a link to research done in T4 regarding beetle patterns: http://www.atitd.org/wiki/tale4/Beetle_Breeding_Guide (From Mortality)
- When trading with people for their beetles, it's good to have the same trading partner. That way you won't always have to start at 0% with their beetles. After a time, the % will be more like 20% yours and so on, as your partner uses your beetles in their breeding program and to satisfy the requirements for principles. (From Trazendra via Merit)
- Murtha is conducting an extensive research program to ascertain whether the patterns come from the male or the female beetle. I believe so far the results show that they come from the female. Talk to her about her research. (From murtha via Merit)
