"I do wonder why the rainbow stag beetle is colored the way it is... While I may not know THAT, I most certainly know THIS: They are foul."

Upon donating to the Museum, Blathers the curator will say:
"Rainbow stags have the honor of being called the world's most beautiful stag beetles, eh wot? Even the insect's belly has this rainbow design, making it one of the less vile bugs I've encountered. In fact, this may be the only insect whose underside I can view without retching..."
It can be found on a cedar tree to the left of the top terrace in the bug exhibit.

"Rainbow stags are called the most beautiful of stag beetles because of their metallic-rainbow color. Not only are their wings a pretty rainbow color, but their bellies are as well. They are quite laid back, but they can be seen every now and then fighting to protect their territories."
In New Horizons[]
In New Horizons, upon donation or selecting "Tell me about this!", Blathers the curator will say (with abhorrence):
"Rainbows are beautiful things, I'm sure we all agree. But rainbow stag beetles? Bleech! Yes, yes, this beetle's back and belly shine with a pretty rainbow-colored luster. But that does not change the fact this bug has large pincers on its face and loves to pick a fight! If one can wish upon a rainbow, then I wish to say far away from the rainbow stag. Perhaps I've picked the wrong profession."
