Can you tell me a page number??? -

Hi everyone! I just joined this forums! I have a BS, MS and working on PhD in Entomology currently. I've got my first two beetles, mainly a lep guy, from Bugs in cyberspace. Both are Chrysina and one has gone into pupa after owning it for just a couple weeks. Hit me up to say hi or just chat. I'll answer any bug questions you might have as well!!!
