I need an adult female goliath. Size and color do not matter. I can puchase or I can trade, I have some smaller males.

I got some grantii larvae a while ago. I should have asked about their sex but didn't, now I have 6 female adults... 😒  I need a male to keep things going. I hope someone out there has something. I'm in Nor Cal
