      I mean, these are leaf beetles, so you would probably only need their host plant(s) and a controlled environment. But there are 3000 species in this subfamily that all look different. If you are talking about this specific beetle here, it is probably Stolas imperialis, which is a Brazilian species. So you would need to have access to this beetle first, probably deal with very strict export/import regulations and then also do the same for the beetles host plant(s)…
