Welcome to Beetle Mania!
Seven Lakes now has its own beetle breeders association. Come chat with us and stop driving your friends crazy!Guild hall is located at 1427, 1773 right by the beetle garden in Seven Lakes.
For Out-of-Towners, take the road south from the CS, take the first two lefts. Paid memberships only please.
- We are currently expanding from 40 to 50. (I can't believe it!) We need 2150 more boards and 5116 more bricks. I'm asking for 100 boards and 200 bricks from each current member. 300 just bricks or just boards is ok too.
- I know most guilds want new members to pay to apply. If new apps want to donate, that's great but not required. So far everyone has joined for free. My theory is that when current members stop donating, it means the guild has reached its natural top size.

Worst Beetle Ever
- I'm trying to find a way of describing beetles that makes sense. The first step is to agree on some basic terms, like a triangle pattern or a rough texture. I'm making up these catagories on the fly. Feel free to reorganize if you think of a better way to sort.-Tazendra
Beetle Tips
- I find that if you want to retain colors and patterns, match the paint colors of the parents. Use unmatched paint colors in the parents to breed new colors and patterns. - Tazendra
- If I had it to do over, I would have started by making high percentage breeding stock and not worried about the look. Then when they were all 60%-75% started picking favorites. Instead I fell in love with some low percentage beetles and I'm having a heck of a time breeding them up with the same look. - Tazendra

Looking for a particular color or pattern? Got extras to give away? Post it here.
- If anyone needs M & F wilds that have never seen a terrarium, you should post here. I found my two for principles, if I catch any more I'll pass it on. - Tazendra
- Ashlyn is looking for an unclaimed Plains Female. - Tazendra
- Dunno if this counts as "need", but my stock of wilds has died, so I wouldn't mind any wild beetle. I have yet to get 1 normal pattern, so I'm just pitting the wilds on each other hoping for random mutations :)
- LostMan is looking for 1 M Burrowing Beetle please :)
Notes
- Props to Trin for naming the guild.
Temple of Khefre Founded, Year 1 Peret IV-8
Now for your cabbage growing pleasure, let me announce the founding of the Temple of Khefre! Located in sunny Khartoum at 680, -6210 in prime cabbage farmland (25 per planting), this cabbage-juice blue Temple has a stunning lakeside view. The Khartoum CS and Beetle Garden are only a short walk to the West. Amenities include a huge Beetle Mania! Guild Chest, a public kitchen, and a public viewing terrarium. Private chest space is available along the back wall. Contact a Beetle Mania! Elder to reserve a private chest. Other Beetle Guilds welcome!
- The terrarium needs 12 Sheet Glass. I'm not worried about a Thermometer, as its not ment for breeding. Once the terrarium is done, I'm carrying paint to add gold trim. -Taz
