Anyone have larvae of M. vogti or related species? Thanks!

Hello, Yesterday I gave my dung beetles a lot of pig dung and they dug it all underground, but today they don't seem as excited about a new shipment of dung. It is a bit chillier and less sunny today. Is this okay? Thanks!

Hello, I'm looking for some large rotten logs. Hardwood logs only! Thanks!

Hello, When my L. elaphus were L1 and L2, I'd notice that sometimes larvae would just disappear when kept together, and it was almost always the smallest ones. I have never noticed cannibalism with Dynastes tityus or granti. Anyone can corroborate this? Thanks!

Hello, I read that Goliath beetle larvae eat high protein foods like dog or cat food and do not really eat rotten wood like Dynastes or Lucanus. Anyone care to speculate what their diet would consist in the wild? Would they just hunt around for insects? Would they eat dung? Where do they...

While I have not seen it personally, in Orin's book, he has an ominous paragraph about it. Thanks!

Hello all, I was wondering what the maximum weight of a D. tityus and D. granti larvae would be.

Hello all, I was wondering if any of you guys knew what the largest longhorn beetle that is native to USA? Also, are there any large longhorn beetles we have that are not pests of living trees? Are there any that eat dead wood like Dynastes? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I am new to beetleforum, but not to beetle keeping! I raised some Lucanus elaphus larvae when I was younger, and now I've rediscovered my love for these creatures. I am currently raising D. tityus as well as Lucanus elaphus. Thank you!
