This striking Blister Beetle (Mylabris phalerata), encased in durable resin, features vivid black and orange banding that captures its unique charm. Ideal for insect enthusiasts, educators, and collectors, this preserved beetle is a timeless addition to any collection.
Fact:
Blister beetles secrete a chemical called cantharidin, which acts as a defense mechanism. This compound, historically used in medicine, can cause skin irritation if touched.
