Rain beetles (Pleocomidae) spend a majority of their lives underground, with adults only emerging in response to rain or snow - thus the common name. The young (larvae & pupae) can spend 8-13 years feeding on host plant roots and developing underground until optimal conditions. After emerging, females release pheromones to attract flying males to mate. Eggs are then laid underground, completing the life cycle. Adults don't have functional mouthparts, therefore their only function is reproduction.
Pleocoma is the only extant (living) genus of rain beetles and is endemic to the Pacific States of North America. Fossil remains of Pleocoma were found in China, suggesting it has existed there in the past.

I’m a taxonomist at heart and a naturalist as a result. If you were to go on a hike or walk with me, it would likely take hours, mainly because I have to stop to look at every beautiful creature I see (especially if I don’t know it yet) and swipe a picture.
My goal is to showcase the beautiful and diverse creatures of this Earth while teaching the NFT community about their biology and life history.
This is a limited series. The total number of creations, 121, was determined based on the total number of described species on Earth (approximates).
