Series 17 saves a rainbow for last. The rainbow stag beetle is often called the most beautiful beetle on Earth — its hard shell gleams with an unbelievable metallic mix of green, gold, red, purple and blue, all shifting as it turns in the light.

A Living Rainbow

Its exoskeleton shines with intense metallic iridescence, flashing green, gold, crimson and violet from different angles — a jewel-box of color on a single beetle.

Antlers of a Stag

Like other stag beetles the male carries long, curved, antler-like jaws, used to wrestle rivals — here paired with that extraordinary rainbow armor.

A Rainforest Gem

Native to the tropical rainforests of northeastern Australia and New Guinea, it is a treasured prize among beetle enthusiasts the world over.

The Collector’s Reward

As the secret chase of the series, the rainbow stag is the piece keepers hunt for — quite simply one of the most dazzling insects alive, rounded into pure glittering charm.

“The most beautiful beetle alive — a rainbow you can hold.”
