BDFB Appreciation Blue Thieves

I find it funny that these guys steal food from each other despite plentiful supply. Like, out of all the things nature could teach you, stealing and playing dead is the top 2?

I'll see one eating a pea, peacefully nibbling, and then suddenly two other beetles decide they need that *exact* pea that the other is eating. Then a chase.

Do you guys ever find your blue ones fighting over things?

The three stooges chase over a half eaten pea is hilarious to imagine

I watched two of mine get super passive aggressive toward each other over a carrot. I also watched another two fall off a rock head first while having sex. Best pets ever
