Hello, Im Zac from oklahoma, and ive got a few questions. I was wanting to buy a few large beetles for my (currently small) insect collection, when i remembered that a few people bred stags and rhino beetles. how long do most stag and rhino beetles take to go from egg to adult? I have heard that it is an awful long time, and the adults dont live long either. I have heard though, that some, such as Dorcus stags, live 1-3 years? I would love to get a male or two of maybe two or three species of stag/rhino beetles, but I dont really want to get into breeding and all that mess. I have enough hobbies as is. Also, nonnative beetles arent legal to import, right? So do you guys breed any?
