Larvae Enclosure Size?

[jake7917]

I am getting some flower beetle larvae soon and want to know how big of an enclosure I should raise them in. Looking to get an enclosure big enough to house them until they turn into adult beetles. I’ve read online that beetles in general should have 10cm in all directions. I purchased large plastic tubs but 20x20x20cm for one larvae seems a bit excessive. I‘m new to beetlekeeping so maybe this is the adequate size, but I thought I would ask what others house their larvae in. Information online is very limited. Thanks.

Any US Cetoniines can be reared in 16 oz food containers.

I successfully reared Gymnetis thula, Osmoderma sp. in 16 oz containers (3-4 larvae in a single container was okay) as well as Pelidnota punctata, Chrysina gloriosa.

Any larger exotic species like Goliathus or Mecynorrhina species should be reared in larger containers like at least 32 oz to around 64 to 128oz, or even bigger for large individuals.

Cheers, thanks man. I’ll downsize my container a bit
