Gilding may have developed a newfound fondness for a member of the rodentia family (namely her recently acquired hamster, Hamtardo — er, Hamtaro), but nothing in this Earth could get her to care for, let alone let in her house, one of these fuckers.

Capitalizing on Columbia’s belated efforts to promote the legal exploitation of its biodiversity, German Viasus of Tunja, Columbia, has made an entrepreneurial living of exporting exotic types of insects (shown with some of his Hercules beetles) to Japan, where beetle-mania is apparently sweeping these shiny hard-shell plated hamster sized creepy-crawlies of ickiness.
