Golden stag

The Golden Stag beetle is tied with the Hercules Beetle at 12,000 Bells as the most expensive insect in the game. It is very rare and is new to. Its name comes from its unique gold color.

Donating to the Museum
Upon donation to the Museum, Blathers the curator will say;

In City Folk
''Though less dramatically shaped than most stag beetles, this bug's gold, shiny color makes up for it! Another notable point about the species is the friendly way males and females interact. The most successful families are the ones that get along best, eh wot? Well done... vile bugs."''

After donation, the Golden Stag Beetle can be found on the second tier of the insect section in the first enclosure, walking on the tree stump towards the back. Once the Hercules Beetle has been donated, both will fight on the stump - lifting one another up in the air then tipping each other over.
