So long story short I've collected over 50 eggs from one my D. Granti breeding boxes this evening, and I'll be probably selling a handful away if interested in the near future, thanks!

Just woke up to the sound of this one trying to chew its way out of my container...guess it was time to come out. 😅

This was found and I've never seen a body type like this, any ideas? Not even sure if it's a beetle tbh...lol Almost looks like an ant queen of some sort.

Went out to the woods to split some rotting logs and these popped up...anyone know offhand what species?  This one in particular is an L3...

One of my M. Sleeperi's pupated much sooner than the rest, and now i find myself without a female for him... Does anyone by chance happen to have a freshly emerged female for sale?? 

Does anyone here have knowledge on how heavy approximately megasoma sleeperi/punctulatus L3 larvae become before pupation? What's the max weight i should be expecting?

So to make a long story short my dynastes and megasoma have been raised under the exact same conditions, yet the last couple months my megasoma have been losing weight little by little. Isn't time yet for pupation so has anyone had something similar going on with megasomas as a whole? 

Curious if handling larave with vinyl gloves is ok, and that the chemical DINP contained on them is dangerous or not to their overall health...or if it even matters at all, thanks!

Hello, has anyone here tried stuffing ventilation holes with filter wool? Curious if there was any ventilation issues, thanks!

Hello, was wondering what everyones opinions were on the topic of inbreeding. Has it been successful in the past and if so, to what extent.
