Moe insects are nothing new. There's a moe cockroach manga for example. Still, the idea maintains plenty of novelty. In time for the summer beetle hunting season, the Itami City Museum of Insects is opening a exhibit dedicated to the order or insects, and the flyer promoting the show has caught the attention of the net with moe versions of the various species.
Netizens have been speculating on the beetles' genders. Consensus is that the rhinoceros beetle (lower right) might be the only guy.
