A testament to its easy care, the yellow-bellied sun beetle has been propagated for over two decades in US collections with few issues. The striking belly coloration may serve some strong adaptive purposes, perhaps to confuse potential predators when the beetle drops to the ground and the yellow and blue-black back color disappears to expose the eye-popping yellow belly.
