I was wondering if anyone has used these as clean-up crews for other darklings, Eleodes, etc? Would they outcompete the other darklings for food, eat the eggs of other species, etc? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I do not know if I am allowed to "advertise" my blog on here, if I am not, then feel free to tear down this thread. I have started a new blog about my bugs and how I'm keeping them. Just wanted to share in case anyone's interested. Here's the link: http://invertebratedude.blogspot.com Thanks!

I had a topic on these a few years back, and was going to add some photos that i forgot to add, but it appears to be gone. Anyways, I guess I will kinda recreate it, with more info and photos. I kept the adults in a 24 oz tupperware container, with moist coconut fiber as the substrate. I had...
