All About Arthropods

I really like the new and upbeat look, the only thing that would be nice is if the background was a different color just so things look a little less similar to Mantidforum. Besides that, I think things look great!

I'm starting one up, but beetles aren't one of the main focuses.

Welcome! Glad you made your way over here!

Not sure, but I think most people just ship them to themselves.

Very cool, I love vinegaroons and actually have a pair myself. That appears to be a male though, due to the slim body and large pedipalps. Females have smaller, more compact pedipalps and are usually a bit bulkier.

That sucks.

I agree with wizentrop, these do good in captivity. I keep S.vicinus and have already got them to lay 2 eggs, which have hatched and since then the larvae have each molted to L2. I give them dead A.vulgare a lot and they can easily eat them. They absolutely love to burrow! Usually the only time I see them is at night, the rest of the time they are in their neatly constructed and very interesting burrows. I'm planning on letting mine go though( might still keep the 2 larvae) so I can make some room for some new large and cool insects.

Cool! They look really nice with the hairs and the round body shape! How large are they?

Welcome to the forum! Those are two great species!

Hi Everyone! I wanted to know if anyone has heard about yellowish-white liquid coming out of grapevine beetles' back side? I have two females and they both do that, just wanted to know if something was wrong with them or if it is normal. Thanks!

Ok, Thanks!

Cool, that's a decent amount of time. In your expierience with them do they fly alot if taken out? Thanks!

Do you happen to know how long these live?

Great, I have some jelly. It does have black legs, it probably is a female because it is large and is a light yellowish-orange color.
