In Japan...

You can buy giant live beetles at Toys R Us called Kabuto-mushi. When Papa H was a kid they captured them the old fashioned way, with a net at the park. Today there are none to be found at the park, so you'll have to go to the mall and spend about ten bucks. But that will just get you one, and that isn't any fun, because I assume anything with a giant horn protruding from its forehead is meant to fight. You will also need a cage and these little mini jello cups that apparently they like to eat. Kabuto-mushi are not only pets, they have inspired a whole subculture all their own. I have seen robots, action figures, amusement park rides, and of course superheroes, all in the likeness of this infamous beetle.
