Characters who have a great curiosity and interest in beetles that they wanna hold it in their hand and love, love them do. Very common in anime, so let it be. The interest may spawn either from a fascination of bugs since childhood, or that said character was raised throughout so by them. For when the character shares the same species as the bugs, see Mouse World. See also Bug Catching, Friend to Bugs, and Scarab Power. Not to be confused with fans of the legendary British band. |

THE iDOLM@STER: Cinderella Girls: Jougasaki Rika is a middle-schooler heavily into the Gal subculture — nevertheless, her favorite things are beetles and stickers, which is meant to show her childish side, and that her preoccupation with sex appeal is because of her admiration of her sister. | |

The Other Mother in Coraline has a quite a fondness for beetle motifs. So much so, in fact, that she has an entire room decorated with sentient beetle furniture and insect-patterned wallpaper. In the room's first appearance, she is shown munching on one of her favorite treats, cocoa beetles from Zanzibar. The room didn't start that way. It's the true form of the Other World counterpart to a rather ordinary room in the Pink Palace, and all the bug imagery is a sign that the Other Mother's illusion is starting to fade away. | |

In Galaxy of Fear: The Swarm, it's noted that some of the S'krrr, particularly Vroon, all but worship drog beetles. Vroon, unfortunately, takes it to the extent of Belief Makes You Stupid, using his position as chief gardener aboard the station to kill all drog beetle predators in the garden to protect the beetles. Which are a species of Explosive Breeder carnivore. His Karmic Death is very justified indeed when the swarming insects eat him alive as part of their rampage through the station. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Agitha has Link collect bugs (among which are two types of beetle) for her in exchange for money and increases to his wallet capacity. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: The Beggar is so completely obsessed with beetles he will pay crazy amounts of money every time someone brings him one. You can exploit a design flaw in the game (whereby one beetle turns into three when released from its bottle) to get very rich very quickly. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: Strich, one of Groose's lackeys, is also insect-obsessed. Beedle, a recurring character seen in several games, is (true to his name) a beetle lover. In Skyward Sword, he has his own beloved pet beetle (despite it not technically being the same Beedle), while in Breath of the Wild, he will excitedly buy beetles from you (or, if you decline his offer to trade a rare Energetic Rhino Beetle in your possession, plot under his breath to hire someone to steal it from you). |

There once was a boy named Satoshi Tajiri, who counted among his favorite pastimes catching beetles and setting them against beetles his friends had collected. He later went on to work for Nintendo, and eventually parlayed his childhood memories into a pop-culture phenomenon which still endures decades later. | |

In The Water Phoenix King, Gilgam has quite a few beetles decorating his equipment. His pauldrons, the large pin which unfolds into a collar that connects them over his warmer-weather gear, the charge crystals for his gun, are all scarab-shaped, and his riding-beast is a robot that looks like a cross between an ant and a beetle of some sort. It makes sense... | |

Game of Thrones: The only trait we know of Tyrion Lannister's intellectually disabled cousin Orson is that he apparently loved to smash beetles with rocks. House of the Dragon: Helaena Targaryen's Establishing Character Moment is her waxing encyclopedically to her mother about her pet millipede. She also has a collection of bugs preserved in a box. As an adult, she's shown embroidering insect patterns while her cherubic-looking twins playing with insect-shaped toys. |
