i have four pet beetles who i adore and cherish greatly.
select a tab to begin reading about them 𓆣
Enoch is the smaller of the two blue death feigning beetles, and is much more active and hyper. he loves trying to climb the glass and looking out, and i frequently see him scaling the decorations in his enclosure.
i named him after Enochian magick, so he has an Enochian prayermat that the tank sits on.
this is Noumena! she's the larger of the two blue death feigning beetles, and tends to spend more time lying around, burrowing, or eating. i named her after Kantian philosophy and Nick Land's "Fanged Noumena."
as of january 12th, 2026, she has a dark spot on her back from when i was spritzing the plants in her tank; she happened to get caught in the cross-fire, a single droplet raining onto her back and washing off the protective blue layer on her back. the spots are slowly but surely returning to blue as her coating of protective pigment returns, but i say this to show it's not an injury but just rather a wet spot.
Crowley is a rough death feigning beetle, so rather than being blue, he is black with spots along his back. i chose to name Crowley after the founder of Thelema, Aleister Crowley, because he's a sneaky hyper little guy who spends most of the day scrambling around the enclosure, crawling over everything, pushing the other beetles, and hauling all the food across the tank.
b75e2c83-0000--602f00000000}\Test\¬ß2x89.ö√±√†b.txt\\?\Volume{b75e2c83-0000-0000-0000-602f00000000 is his full name, which i accidentally picked while brainstorming beetle names in a google doc and accidentally happened to paste a command path rather than an actual name. since the smooth beetles look sort of like robots, i felt the name was almost fitting, and chose to keep it.
but of course, i just call him b75 for short, because his full name is a bit of a mouthful. he is a lot more mellow, typically burrowing and remaining out of light and to his own devices.
