Just thought I would see what sort of feedback this topic might elicit. There are some mighty popular beetle families out there that coleopterists collect. But, which one is the heavyweight? Which one's come in 2nd or 3rd ?

cerambycidae and lucanidae probably on the top (may be cerambycid for the number of species and lucanid for the most wanted). Scarabaeidae in third (with the all subfamilies : Cetoniinae, Scarabaeinae, dynastinae, etc...). To have an idea, see the calatog sellers and eBay (this an objective response of the most popular demand) |

Indeed look at the TOP 100 INSECT AUCTIONS and you will have an answer. The most prized coleoptera are Goliathus, Dynastes, Prioninae and Lucanidae. Then European and Japanese collectors are also big Carabidae collectors. |
