I certainly would!
Since I played Wild World as a kid, I've been obsessed with these beautiful armored titans of the beetle world!
Some people like to keep fish. Others, birds. But me? Beetles.
They're absolutely huge. The size is not really exaggerated in animal crossing. I only wish I could go out in my backyard and catch them myself!
I've been learning how to take care of these giant bugs, so that I'll eventually have enough knowledge on the different subspecies of dynastae beetles to keep and breed them. The care for these creatures is surprisingly low maintenance, and obtaining them is as easy as ordering a breeding pair online. The prices range from 20 to 150 USD for breeding pairs, depending on the source and quality of the specimens.
Here's some fun facts about these beauties!

- Entomologist S?verin Tchibozo suggests the larvae contain much more protein (40%), than chicken (20%) and beef (approximately 18%) and they could become a protein source for a large human population.
- Rhinoceros beetles could play a big part in the next generation of aircraft design.
- Rhinoceros beetles are popular as pets in parts of Asia, in part due to their being clean, easy to maintain and safe to handle. Also in Asia, male beetles are used for gambling fights. Since males naturally have the tendency to fight each other for the attention of females, they are the ones used for battle. To get the two male beetles to lock in combat, a female beetle or a small noisemaker is used to duplicate the female's mating call.
- Rhinoceros beetles are rather well-protected, and a healthy adult male can live up to 2-3 years. The females rarely live long after they mate.
- The Dynastinae are among the largest of beetles, reaching more than 150 mm (6 in) in length, but are completely harmless to humans because they cannot bite or sting.
- Some species, such as the Hercules Beetle, have been known to lift up to 850 times their own weight.
Sorry if this creeps anyone out! I understand that not everyone is as fond of insects as I am.
Surprisingly, I used to be quite afraid of beetles as a small child. June beetles liked to get stuck in my hair and on my clothes, and at times, it was quite traumatizing. It was like they knew and dive bombed me on purpose! I'm still not fond of June beetles to this day. D:
But share your thoughts on keeping bugs from Animal Crossing in real life. :3
