Bug Capsule!!!

Children in Japan seem to have a special fascination for bugs. They are mini scientist that can teach even many adults about insects. Rhinoceros bettles are common pets and kids spend time searching for them in nature. To make things easier BANDAI has launched environmentally friendly bug copies that come in "gachapon" capsules. A variety of beetle copies can be purchased at vending machines for ¥200. And believe it or not, the replicas are made of biodegradable biomass chips.

So if you don't live near any forest or piece of nature, with these replicas, your child can still be a proud owner of a giant bettle.
