WTB Live US Native Beetles (or Goliathus!)

Pupa
I'm looking to buy beetles. Particularly:

  • Rutelines (Especially Pelidnota punctata)
  • Flower beetles (Especially Osmoderma spp., Goliathus, or Gymnetis thula)

    I'll also buy Cotinis nitida, but probably not alone

This post may make it sound like I'm looking for a lot and am very picky, but I just want some new beetles. If you want to try to sell me something else, then feel free.  :)

I can trade with you if you want osmoderma. I don’t ever sell WC and of the species you mentioned I only have WC of them. I’d be willing to trade some larvae for a pair of Carolina mantids or other mantis/katydid native to your state, or any interesting insects.

I still have plenty of C. woodi and G. thula larvae available, PM if interested.

That's very enticing. :)

I appreciate the offer, but as I said, I probably won't buy Cotinis nitida alone. I currently have a breeding project going on, and while they are native to my state (and in some areas, very common), I'm still having some trouble finding enough of them. I would probably add a few onto a larger order for cheap, but at this point, I'm not desperate enough to buy them on their own. Thanks, though!

I unfortunately don't have any mantids or katydids to trade with you. I don't really like mailing bugs myself anyway, as I've almost exclusively had bad experiences, but thanks anyway.
