So sad tumblr doesnt seem to know about this game. You breed your own beetles then attack other bugs. You also feed and pet your beetles and its all very cute and funny. I havent beaten it but its cute and reminds me of older games.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

With Chrysina limbata around, you won��t need a mirror! This species has an especially shiny exoskeleton, reflecting up to 97% of the light that hits it. In the wild, the mirror-like reflective surface may fool potential predators into thinking the beetle is just a drop of water- effectively serving as conspicuous camouflage.

thinking about weevil photonic crystal structures...

Weevils (such as Pachyrhynchus genera) have evolved epidermal cells that can produce colour through opal-like arrangements of packed spheres, forming a three-dimensional photonic crystalline structure.
