Having gotten tired of how much of a pain in the butt it is to get your hands on ACTUAL Scarab swarms, I decided to manufacture my own. These little buggers were made out of carpentry button ends (the kind used to cover up screw holes in banisters and such) that I carved and detailed using a Dremel tool. I think it was something like $3.50 +tx to buy a blister of 18 such buttons down at Canadian Tire, making each base of two Scarabs marginally more expensive than my Jokaero, if you can believe it.
I might paint up the eyes red later, but I plan on leaving them gold for the moment.
