  1. I already got very often livestock from the US and also sent very often livestock to the US and never had problems with customs (only one time a letter with Saturniid eggs took too long). Butterfly/moth and phasmid eggs are absolutely no problem. They can be sent in letters. But I did not only send/receive dozens of letters to/from the US, also small parcels have never been a problem. Hundreds of cocoons were shipped without any problems. I think the clue is to send small parcels. They are not very conspicious, especially as they might even be regarded as letters (this is the case when I send them from Germany and might be similar from other countries). I had only very few letters and parcels taking more than two weeks (average is about 7-10 days, which is absolutely acceptable for most insects).
  2. Hello, I'm a beetle breeder from Germany. I got my first beetles (Eudicella euthalia betherandi) three years ago, but didn't breed more for some time. But in the last months I switched more and more over from butterflies and moths to beetles as I'm often away for some days and as I have only very little time sometimes. If I didn't count wrong, I have 13 (sub-)species at the moment, mainly African Cetonids: -Eudicella euthalia betherandi -Eudicella euthalia hereroensis -Eudicella morgani -Eudicella colmanti -Eudicella schultzeorum -Cyprolais hornimanni -Cyprolais cornuta -Dicronorhina conradsi -Mecynorrhina polyphemus -Xylutrupes beckeri -Xylotrupes mniszechi tonkinensis -Chalcomsoma caucasus -Phalacrognathus muelleri Most of them are doing quite well at the moment. Hopefully I can keep this breeding lines and get more species next year (especially some more Dynastinae and Lucanidae). Right now I also have some surplus breeding material (larvae of Eudicella hornimanni and adults of Eudicella euthalia betherandi), but shipping is of course not optimal right now. But I hope especially for some nice exchange next spring. Best regards, Fabian
