If you have access to Sagra buqueti beetles (Malaysian frog legged leaf beetles) in the U.S., please pm me. I thought I had a source, but it fell through so I'm on the lookout again. I am looking for either adults or pupae. Thank you!

I've been doing some research, and there are rumors of using sweet potato vines or kudzu to get them to reproduce, but I can't seem to find anything solid. Has anyone here had success breeding and rearing them to adulthood, or seen it firsthand?

Hello all, I'm looking for substrate that would be good for Chalcosoma chiron larvae, especially for producing majors. I'm not too good at making it myself yet, and I'd like to find a local source instead of ordering from overseas. I'd be ordering a lot if you have it!

Hello all! I'm excited to be a part of this forum. I got into keeping beetles just earlier this year. I have a couple species of desert beetle I keep communally, and I'm also raising four Dynastes tityus larvae in hopes of breeding them as adults. I'd love to expand into some more exotic species...
