Spawns a friendly Beetle.

Not to be confused with the Ant Egg, which shares the same shortened in-game name, but spawns four Soldier Ants instead.

The Beetle Egg, also called in-game as just the Egg, is a legacy petal from florr.io. The petal itself is very weak and doesn't deal any damage, but once broken, it hatches a friendly Beetle mob, which targets any hostile entity close to its user. The Beetle Egg is dropped by Beetles and Hel Beetles.

To avoid confusion with a similar petal and similar mobs, this page will refer to this petal as the Beetle Egg rather than just being referred to as Egg. Egg will be used to refer to the Egg itself rather than the petal as a whole.

Appearance[]

The Beetle Egg appears to be an oval shaped egg with a pale yellow body color and a darker outline. With every increasing rarity, the egg will slightly increase in size.
The friendly Beetle spawned from this appears the same as regular Beetles, but its body (including its borders) is yellow-colored rather than purple, indicating it's a friendly mob. The purple dots from the hostile Beetle are also colored yellow here. The yellow color is close to the flowers' yellow colors to represent this.

Function[]

Petal Stats
Rarity	Obtainable?	Health	Respawn	Contents
Common	Yes	1	18.0 seconds	Beetle (Common)
Unusual			22.8 seconds	Beetle (Unusual)
Rare			1.6 seconds	Beetle (Unusual)
Epic			2.2 seconds	Beetle (Rare)
Legendary			3.2 seconds	Beetle (Epic)
Mythic			7.4 seconds	Beetle (Legendary)
Ultra			20.1 seconds	Beetle (Mythic)
Super			82.4 seconds	Beetle (Ultra)
Unique			4.4 seconds	Beetle (Ultra)

The Beetle Egg will spend a prolonged time into cooldown time, but once it spawns, it will have to break to activate its ability: the Beetle Egg will hatch into a friendly Beetle. When there are no entities nearby, the Beetle will wander around the flower like a normal Beetle without any flowers nearby, but if the flower goes too far away, it will follow the mob. When other entities are nearby, the friendly Beetles will attack all mobs and hostile flowers. Beetles prioritize their targets if there's are many types of them, focusing on hostile mobs, then neutral mobs, then passive mobs, then finally flowers.

Hel Beetles can be spawned if the player is corrupted.

Strategy[]

Beetle Eggs are a viable choice, especially in the early areas of many zones, however, the Beetle Eggs' biggest con is their very long cooldown timer, specially at Ultra and Super rarities, meaning it could be unreliable against crowds. Still, the friendly Beetles have plenty of HP, and you can simply use multiple Beetle Eggs or one-two of this petal alongside other petals (like Stingers) to mitigate their long cooldown.
Beetle Eggs can be seen as ranged petals, as while they can't be shot, the friendly Beetles will be able to move around, meaning they could attack other mobs at long distances. However, this could be detrimental to you, as hostile mobs around can lock on the Beetle, kill it and then lock on you, potentially killing you if you're unprepared. Always make sure to not draw too much attention, or to be able to counter said crowds. Neutral mobs (such as the Worker Ants, which will lock onto you once the friendly Beetle that attacked it dies, even if there are other friendly mobs around).
Compared to the Ant Egg and the Mysterious Stick (the other two summoner petals), the Beetle Egg takes the least time to hatch a friendly mob, meaning that it will protect yourself quicker than other summoners, whereas the Ant Eggs will take a little longer for that, and the friendly Sandstorms from the Sticks are quite unreliable for that. The Beetle also has pretty good stats, which means it can kill most mobs and survive with some HP left, or can heavily injure the mobs after dying. Beetles do not only have higher body damage than Soldier Ants, but also have a faster speed than them. These characteristics make it a good choice for beginner summoners. However, the Beetle Egg only consists of 1 Egg, which can spawn only 1 Beetle at a time, meaning that Beetle Egg strategies should mostly include multiple of them.
Bur can be used to further help the Beetles damage and kill the other mobs.
Most Beetle Egg builds will have them mixed with Ant Eggs, lacking any other attacking/defensive/healing petals. It's advised to bring those type of petals in your secondary loadout to avoid risking everything with the friendly mobs.
Generally, Beetle Eggs are good distraction petals with their Beetles, and can take pretty much anything on their own. However, specially if you are using Super Eggs, you'll be weakened for too long before hatching more Beetles. It's best if you bring a squad with you, or use 2-3 Beetle Eggs and other petals to assist you.

Obtaining[]

The only way to obtain Beetle Eggs is, of course, killing Beetles. Remember to always maintain distance from them, as they have high speed and can kill you if you let them. Be sure to have a Jelly, a multi-hit like Heavy and/or a Rubber to constantly avoid ram damage, or Disc to mitigate it.
- Hel Beetles are extra dangerous, not only due to the scenario it is present, but also because they can teleport close to (or on) your current location, severely hurting or even killing you if you can't outrun them. Bring some Bubbles and maybe Cacti to have a chance at surviving them.
Just like the Ant Egg and its mob counterpart, Beetle Eggs are good for farming themselves, as they can distract and kill Beetles and Hel Beetles of the same rarity (though they will die in the process).

Garden

The Beetle Egg is very efficient in fending off Hornets at a range. The Beetle Egg user should try to assist the Beetle, as it might take too long to respawn and protect you again.
Beetles are also good for distracting and even taking out Bees and Spiders which can otherwise cause big trouble to you.
A handful of Beetle Eggs can quickly destroy an Ant Hole and all Ants spawned from it.

Desert

The Beetle Egg is specially useful for killing Sandstorms with ease, which is highly beneficial for both Glass/Sand farming and for efficiency, since Sandstorms are very unpredictable, and can instantly kill you if they ram into you. However, be careful when dealing with Mythic+ Sandstorms, as they are faster and have bigger hitboxes, plus, Super Sandstorms can pull you into their ramming radius.
Friendly Beetles are also good for taking their hostile counterparts (as mentioned above) as well as Desert Centipedes and Soldier Fire Ants (from Fire Ant Burrows). They can kill the former and die in the process if they're of the same rarity, while the last two will be shredded due to the tanky stats of the friendly Beetle.
This can also be used to distract Scorpions, as they can tank both the stingers and the resulting poison damage while still having enough HP to potentially kill them.

Ocean

A single friendly Beetle may be able to mitigate quite a handful of lightning discharges from a Jellyfish, avoiding lightning bounces and even killing the mob itself.
- Be aware that the Jellyfish's lightning discharges can potentially harm multiple friendly mobs at once. The spawned mobs can also cause the discharges to chain onto the player when they'd otherwise be out of range.
Beetle Eggs can also be used to distract and deal with Crabs and Leeches, matching up with their HP stat and avoiding them killing you. A less viable strategy would be using this against Ultra+ Shells to distract them abd potentially mitigate their fired Pearls.
Beetle Eggs can deal with Starfish, but it may not deal enough damage to fully kill them. Pairing them with Dandelions and assisting them with glass petals like Stingers should be enough most of the time.

Ant Hell

Beetle Eggs specially do very well in all Ant Hells. Beetles will be able to tank multiple Ants and Ant Egg mobs before dying, and while tanking less Fire Ants, they can still do well against them. Termites, however, will be shredded by the friendly Beetles, as they can tank a lot of damage from Termites, while dealing massive damage to all Termites due to their Psyonic Connection.
The friendly Beetles are also quite useful for dealing with Queen Ants, Queen Fire Ants and Termite Overminds.

Hel

Using[]

Slow down chasing enemies by unleashing Beetles against them, dealing knockback and massive damage.
Despite being good in PvE, players are much more skilled (and also stronger), so unless you're using slowing petals, weakening petals, or higher rarity Beetle Eggs, they're pretty much useless on PvP, specially due to the petal's massive respawn time.
The spawned Beetles target other mobs over flowers, so try to fight in areas without any distractions, or deal with them yourself.
If you have Mythic+ Beetles, there are a couple strategies you could try using:
- One strategy is to use Pincer or Webs to slow down players, which puts them in the perfect position to be killed by the Beetles and your supporting petals.
- Another strategy is to use Bubbles to push the Beetles into players. Just know that ramming builds can withstand getting hit by the Beetle multiple times and can heal regularly, so take them out carefully.
On PvE, Beetle Eggs are useful against all Hel mobs here being able to distract and tank them with ease while killing them alone.
Ultra+ Beetle Eggs can take out the Super Bone as the Mythic Beetle's damage is higher than the Super Bone's Armor.

Against[]

One of the most viable strategies is to not kill the friendly Beetles. Instead, let them chase you, so you don't need to waste your time killing them, but rather waste full power against the Beetle Egg user.
- Killing the Beetles will cause more to respawn in the perfect position to ram the player, dealing heavy damage and knockback.
Since friendly Beetles prioritize all mobs over flowers, try to fight them on places where there are a lot of mobs to avoid being targeted as well.
If the Beetles spawned are of Legendary rarity or above and you can handle killing them, it's best to do so, since then the Beetle Egg will take very long to respawn, thus opening a weak spot on the player where you can kill them.
Beware for any slowing petals a Beetle Egg user may have, as they might cause you to ram into the Beetles and kill you. Also beware of Bubble users bouncing the Beetle until it rams you.
Use Jelly or multi-hit petals like the Heavy to keep them from dealing massive damage at you.
Try to also bring Lightning (or Battery and ram damage builds) with you, as the attack has the potential to bounce from the mobs to the player who summoned them, specially if there are multiple Beetles.
Treat these the same way you would treat normal Beetles in Desert.
Do not use Bones against Ultra Beetle Eggs since the Mythic Beetle's damage is higher than the Super Bone's Armor.

Jungle

Beetle Eggs are very useful for distracting both Mantises and Wasps as well as tanking their projectiles. They can also obliterate every other mob here (specially Leafbugs despite their Armor stat), including Termites from Termite Mounds.

Sewers

Friendly Beetles are also highly useful on Sewers, as they can obliterate Flies, Moths and Spiders alike, and although Roaches might have a chance on aggroing onto you, Beetles will most likely kill them before that happens, as Beetles are stronger than Roaches.

Trivia[]

The name Beetle Egg is actually never used in game: it's a term made by the community to differentiate it from the Ant Egg. Also, Beetle Egg is usually shortened to BEgg (whereas Ant Egg is AEgg but can also be referred to just Egg).
On 06/02/2025, Beetle Egg mechanic were changed. Now Beetle Egg only spawns friendly Beetle upon collision with a mob.
The Beetle Egg, the Ant Egg, the Mysterious Stick and the Square are the only petals who spawn friendly mobs. Curiously, those petals summon the mobs that happen to drop their respective petals.
Since mobs cannot go into walls unless there is the presence of a glitch, the petals of the Beetle Egg, the Ant Egg and the Stick won't go past the wall.
After an update, the Beetle Egg and the Stick spawn smaller versions of their normal counterparts.
When the Eggs are on cooldown or have hatched mobs, they do not count as a petal orbiting the flower, thus causing the distance between other petals to increase. Beetle and Ant Eggs are the only petals to do so, unlike with how many other petals decreasing distance among themselves, like Light and Pollen at Unusual rarities.
The legacy Florr.io and older re-released Florr.io versions did not spawn mobs that were re-colored to be yellow, but rather looked identical to their hostile counterparts.
The Mythic Beetle Egg has gone through several reworks, first spawning 2 Rare Hornets per petal, then 2 Epic Beetles, and currently, a single Legendary Beetle.
Summoned mobs will deal damage to other players' summoned mobs. This is to prevent huge numbers of summoned mobs from taking up entire zones.
Beetle Eggs at higher rarities grow in size. It is actually hard to see it until you compare a Common Beetle Egg with a Super one. Thus, this is the only petal to change sizes on all rarities, though it doesn't change its other characteristics (color, shape, etc…) like the other four petals that change their appearance (Card, Chip, Dice and Glass). Thus, the Beetle Egg is the only petal to change its size depending on the rarity.
Multiple players have initially bought Super Beetle Eggs from the shop, making this the first Super petal to be obtained by a player.
Starting at Legendary rarity, all Beetles hatched from Beetle Eggs will be one rarity lower than the petal. This is shared with the Ant Egg's multiple Eggs starting at Rare rarity.
- Surprisingly, Beetle Egg and Ant Egg have interesting stats: the Beetle Egg has a cooldown of 17 seconds at Common rarity and spawns Common Beetles, the Unusual rarity has a cooldown of 21.8 seconds and spawns Unusual Beetles, the Rare rarity has a cooldown of 26.5 seconds and spawns Rare Beetles, the Epic rarity has a cooldown of 36.0 seconds and spawns Epic Beetles and the Legendary rarity has a 2.2 second cooldown and spawns Epic Beetles. This means that its cooldown rises, then falls to 2.2 seconds and then begins raising again to up to 82.4 seconds. Ant Egg also shares this, as its cooldown timers go from 30 seconds, to 38 seconds and then 2 seconds at Rare rarity, then increasing again as normal, spawning Common, Unusual and Unusual Soldier Ants (or Soldier Termites). They are the only two petals to have this weird oscillation, as not even the Stick has this.
- At Unique Rarity, the Beetle Egg still spawns a Ultra Beetle. Most likely because it would be too overpowered if it spawned a Super Beetle.
This petal is taken directly from legacy florr: the Beetle Egg is inspired by the old Legendary Egg from there (with the name and the Egg's appearance exactly like the modern day Beetle Egg) which hatched into a friendly Beetle exactly like a hostile Beetle from that game. It dropped from an old, massive variation of the Beetle called the Massive Beetle, which can be argued that technically came back as a modern day Epic+ Beetle.
- The Ant Egg also came from that same version: it was also called the Egg at that time, dropped at the Epic rarity and hatched into a friendly Soldier Ant equal to a hostile one.
  - Both of those spawned friendly and normal-colored variations of their respective mobs as opposed to yellow-colored variants of this.
After a month without any updates, the developer M28 nerfed Beetle Egg by increasing its cooldown by about 1.2 times for every Beetle Egg rarity.
