so i accidentally added organic potting soil that had perlite in it to my substrate... id ground up the potting soil and had forgotten that it had perlite and added it in my mix of oak and alder... is this going to affect my larvae? do i need to toss it and make a new batch? id prefer not too...

Does anyone have any experence raising any tiger beetles? I've been out looking for specimens all week and i think i found the spot to find them, im pretty sure i found a few larval holes so im hoping when it warms up that ill find some adults. Any of you have any experence finding these beetles...

Does anyne have any experence with these awesome little tanks? I have a few adults, but I do not know if they are sexually dimorphic so i dont know if i have males, femals or both. I am also having trouble finding any information on their life cycle, Im not even sure what their larvae look like...

does anyone have any they would be willing to part with? i am planning a summer collecting trip to payton for d. granti and i want some practice before then and i would love to start my bettle adventure with some of these beautifull little buggers!

Hello everyone! My name is mike and i live in Denver Colorado. Im new to beetles but not invets and i also keep just about everything else i can get my hands on. i really enjoy raising insects and i cannot wait to get my first bettles going(i have kept colonies of feeder darklings but not as pets).
