I'm rewatching the scene in Endless Terror where Pete and Steve start knocking over artifacts to get Paracelsus' attention and saw that there is a beetle in some box next to Pete. While a cursory Wikipedia search couldn't tell me the specific beetle it is, I went through a long, long, loooong list of carious entomologists and coleopterists. And unfortunately, most Wikipedia articles are very scarce and tell me nothing of note. However, I was thankfully able to narrow the long list down to 5 1/2 potential owners of the beetle (I looked for beetle collectors just now, not much luck). I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me choose an origin and, subsequently, the beetle's effects?

Pierre François Marie Auguste Dejean

Petr Švácha

George Henry Horn

Willard Joseph Chamberlin

Johann Christian Friedrich Märkel (I actually have an idea for the effects if this one gets chosen, but suggestions are still welcome)

Ida Laura Pfeiffer The "1/2" suggestion. Her own page doesn't mention it, but another entomologist's article briefly mentioned that she had a beetle collection. I'm including her for that reason alone, and because she seems kinda interesting, but like the others I just can't think of effects.

Wiles is the one with HD episode access, but currently cannot afford the episode, so here are the best screenshots I could provide in case anyone wanted to try and exactly identify it.
