I have a few invert photos labeled Braf Croatia but it does not show up on searches. Anybody know where this is?

Did you see these in the video? They smell like the unique odor of Japanese substrate but nothing seems to eat them and the ingredient list give no clue. There are a lot of interesting things in those few seconds. 

These beetle breeding items are things you never see in the US (we just see the beetle jellies, holders, splitters and a few things) and some like the anti-mite bedding sound a little dangerous. I think the substrate water is just water? Anybody use the orange gel beads or pellets?

Anybody going to Tarantula night tomorrow?

I know this is considered one of the ugly jewel scarabs but it is a very pretty and metallic beetle when alive. I live up north and this is the first adult I've ever caught. I found another one the next evening. Last time I saw any here was about 11 years ago when I found some larvae in a rotten...

I got a half dozen of these last year and have picked them up a number of times and they've remained quiet. However, the other day I picked up one and it was making strange squeaking noises like mad (sort of frog like and nothing like the sqeaking of rhinoceros beetles though possible formed the...
