    Alexander Beetle is briefly mentioned on page 119 of Winnie-the-Pooh, and he appears to have become upset and hidden himself in a crack for two days, then went to live with his aunt. He is also the subject of a poem in Now We Are Six.

    As kids we knew them as 'Rainbow Beetle'.
    I like that better than poncy Latin names.
