That looks like a piece of dirt or part of a beetle. Scarab grubs are white.

I produced a number of larvae but realized almost too late they eat each other. They laid in flake soil and the eggs were crazy large.

Set up good and then don't touch.

Sounds pretty good actually.

Hercules, gigantic rainbows stags, and others. It was many years ago.

Usually the most you'll find in the way of beetles is mealworms and blue death feigning but some years ago I went to a Chicago show and the beetles were amazing.

Tiny light traps catch very little compared to lights at big hotels, stations, but if you don't have a car this type of light trapping may not work. When I was in the Caribbean I didn't have a car and still found some neat insects at the hotel lights.

Lights around big hotels also work. I've collected around existing lights on West Indies islands and service stations in urbanized areas with good success. You just have to drive around a bit to find good lights.

What about looking around gas stations and other sources of large lights? It works for finding Dynastest tityus.

Wow this is really great!

I figured if it was bad for them they wouldn't eat. Nope.
