Dialogue When Caught

I caught a jewel beetle! It's a real gem!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The green shimmer of the jewel beetle's wings is nothing short of nauseating...yes?

  No? Well, so says you.

  Though...jewel beetles were once prized by collecters who turned their iridescent wings into pretty jewelry.

  Why anyone would want to wear bug parts on their body is beyond me. Fashion foul indeed.
