In search of an extra female to continue my breeding project, any size is fine. Dm me if you have one to sell!

Here’s the beautiful Luna I ended up with, so glad the increased humidity helped her out!

I’m not sure if anyone here has butterfly/moth knowledge, but I thought I’d give it a shot. My lunas are finally starting to emerge after all of those weeks of care, although I’ve noticed that all of them so far have emerged with some form of wing deformation. The first to emerge came out with...

Just a bit ago I removed a pinacate beetle from the freezer, which I intended to preserve after it had died of natural causes, and discovered it had released it’s stench! Or, not exactly stench, but a strange musty scent. It’s hard to describe, but it is similar to that of the smell mealworm...

Took some photos of a lovely herc I got last summer, and never got around to posting them! These are two of my best shots😁

I’ve recently noticed that one of my Dynastes Granti larvae has a considerably small head, in comparison to my other L3’s. Anyone know why this is? And what causes head size differences? For reference, the smaller-headed larvae emerged approx. 2-3 weeks earlier than the others.

Wonderful seller to work with, and good prices too! My bugs were packaged very carefully and arrived safe and sound. Overall very happy with my purchase despite the slight delay in shipping(not the seller's fault, completely on the lousy post office.). I definitely recommend buying from him when...

I recently dug out a few of my D. Granti eggs and set them aside so that the female still laying wouldn’t damage them(as well as mites), and I’ve discovered a good lot of them have gained strange looking dents overnight! Also, some have weird orange spots on the top, about three of them...

Hi there, I just finished digging up eggs from a batch of adult D. Granti, and I came up with about 25 (excluding the deformed/busted ones). Are there any particular conditions I should be keeping them in? To remove them from the initial breeding box, I separated them and added them to a small...

Hi all, I've just recently lost my female of a breeding pair(Dorcus Bucephalus) I recived a few months ago, and my male is starting to behave strangely. I noticed a few days before the female passed that she was very slow moving and uncoordinated, which ended up progressing worse and worse...

Hey all, I’ve recently purchased a pair of D. Bucephalus Stag beetles(about 2 or so months ago) and my female had been acting rather strange. Upon arriving, she wasn’t moving very much to begin with, and assumed she was either dying or dead. Fast forward a week, and she’s acting seemingly normal...

Heya! Just another beetle fan from the sunny state of Cali! I currently own some death feigning beetles, and hopefully (crossing my fingers!) some hercules beetles! I definitely have a soft spot for scarabs, as those are my favorite beetles overall, but I also love stags and darklings. If...
