Rarity and Value

Encased within this handcrafted keychain lies an authentic flower beetle (family Cetoniinae), displaying a rich burnt-orange hue with dark natural veining. Each specimen is unique — its coloration and form shaped by nature, not by human design. Such preserved beetles are valued for their vibrant tones, rarity, and the way they capture the living beauty of tropical ecosystems.

Discovery and Origin

This specimen originates from the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, where flower beetles thrive among fruiting trees and wild blossoms. Known for their glossy shells and gentle habits, these beetles have fascinated collectors and artisans alike, often symbolizing transformation and the abundance of nature.
