New variant
A challenging two-deck patience similar to Spider. All 104 cards are dealt across ten columns — six with four cards and four with five. Build tableau columns downward in rank regardless of suit. Only same-suit sequences may move together as a group. When a complete King-to-Ace sequence of one suit forms atop a column it is removed. Remove all eight suited sequences to win. Deal from the stock when stuck — one card goes to each column.
Click a card (or group base) to select it, then click a valid target column.

Beetle Solitaire is a two-deck Spider-family game with ten tableau columns. Like Spider, it uses same-suit run completion (assemble eight K→A same-suit runs to win) and only same-suit sequences move as units. Unlike standard Spider, individual cards can be placed on any card one rank higher regardless of suit — the same flexibility as Mrs. Mop. The two-deck scale and ten columns make Beetle substantially longer than one-deck Spider variants.
Two 52-card decks (104 cards). Ten tableau columns are dealt with varying card counts; only some cards start face-up depending on the implementation. A stock deals one row of ten cards (one to each column) when the player chooses.
Any single card can be placed on any card one rank higher, regardless of suit. Only a same-suit descending sequence can be moved as a unit. When a complete K→A same-suit run is assembled, it is removed. Complete all eight runs to win.
Standard Spider (4-suit): individual cards can only be placed one rank higher regardless of suit (same rule as Beetle), but only same-suit units move. Beetle uses the same rules for both individual placement and group movement as 4-suit Spider — they are essentially the same game at two-deck scale with ten columns.
Compared to Mrs. Mop (all cards face-up, no stock, two decks): Beetle has hidden cards and stock pressure. Compared to Three Blind Mice (ten columns, Scorpion-family, one deck): Beetle uses two decks and has stock deals.
With two copies of each card, Beetle provides more flexibility in suit-run assembly than one-deck variants: if one copy of 7♥ is buried, the second copy may be accessible. However, this also means eight K→A runs must be completed (two per suit), which requires assembling both copies of every rank of every suit into the correct sequences.
Suit contamination (placing a card of one suit on a different-suit card) creates future cleanup work exactly as in Spider. Tracking which suit-run each card belongs to before every placement is the primary discipline.
