With its metallic green and gold sheen, the golden chafer is one of the brightest beetles in our gardens. Sometimes called the "rose chafer," it is often found on flowers in summer, where it feeds on pollen and nectar.
Surprisingly, despite its massive body, the cetonia is capable of flying extremely quickly without fully opening its elytra (its rigid wings). Its larvae, meanwhile, play an important ecological role by helping to recycle organic matter in the soil. Harmless to humans and beneficial to nature, it always attracts curiosity with its changing reflections that shine in the sun.
This Papo figurine faithfully recreates the golden cetonia: metallic-reflecting shell, detailed legs, and realistic posture. An ideal model to enrich a collection of insects or garden animals, invent nature stories, or educate children about the importance of these small beetles in the ecological balance.

Once Upon a Time There was Papo
For almost 25 years now, Papo has been helping children to grow and to discover the world around them. Childhood is a time of dreams and adventures, and this was what we had in mind when we decided to create our first princesses, princes, dragons and knights. Thanks to the originality of its products and the extreme care taken with product quality and safety, Papo has won children and parents over the years. Papo is now a reference in the world of model figures and continues to develop new ranges to inspire the imaginations of children all around the world. In an age of mass consumption and throwaway goods, Papo continues to produce fine quality toys that last over time and can be passed on from generation to generation.
