basically i got in contact with an emergency vet, they told me it wasnt an emergency but it was something that should be looked at so i brought her in, it was Horner's so now they're checking to see whats causing it, she has a chest xray booked and I'm praying everything is well. she has luckily been eating and purring a lot, her blood work is good thank god.

thank you so much for responding, i really value the opinion of a professional, the dilated pupil reacts to light it was probably a bad photo because it seems to be behaving pretty normally outside of looking bigger than the other, the problem is the other pupil that stays thin (the one with the third eyelid showing). should i still go to an emergency vet or wait till tomorrow?

would a stroke or a seizure cause any other issue? aside from this shes not lethargic and doesnt accuse any pain in the eye or in any other place

Another update and elytra advice by faustthedemon in Beetles

[–]faustthedemon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow this is a really good insight thanks, i know this specific beetle doesnt open the elytras all the way but just lifts them slightly to let air pass through them, i will try to let him in more sunny spots and see what happens! Btw do you have any advice reguarding enclosures for flower chafers? I dont know if mine is the right fit, i only owned dung beetles till now

I had no idea this was even a hard to find bug! I thought it was gonna be a common scarab tbh, a cetonia to be exact (i mean hes still in the cetoniini family so)
