 As the title states, I’m selling a few lucanus elaphus females, they should all be mated by now and ready to lay eggs. Each beetle is 25$ +10$ shipping. Shipping to the continental United States ONLY, and no shipping to Florida (I may make exceptions for people living in far northern Florida...

Hey y’all, so yesterday I found a couple of meracantha contracta adults. I’m not sure if they’re male and/or female (I plan to get more soon). Is there a definite and reliable way to breed these and raise their larvae? I feel like I’ve heard speculations and tidbits of info here and there, but...

Hey yall, so I have a Polyphemus moth that has laid eggs, but I’m not exactly certain what to feed it. I know they feed on oak, but I don’t know exactly what species they’ll eat. I tried feeding them white oak last time, but they only lasted a couple of days. Hopefully someone here can help me...

Hey y’all, so I’m downsizing my collection now, and I have a couple of roach species I’m gonna put here, they’re not rare or anything but if you want them or know anyone who’d want them and has a reduced budget or anything like that let me know. Species here areas follows: naupheta cinerea...

So, I’ve recently gotten back from Florida, and during my trip I found quite a few Romalea Guttata, and I was hoping someone could shed some light on their specific care requirements. I’ve heard they’ll eat lettuce in captivity, and that a mix of potting soil and sand does well for substrate...

As the title states, I’m looking for some millipede species (I’d like to expand a little into that field) but a lot of the sites that sell them usually don’t have sexable ones (or they’re just overpriced/don’t take trades). If you have any you think I’d want (pretty much most large species...

not totally sure what this topic would go in, but I figured it’s probably best here. Anyways, has anyone tried using live plants as an alternate food source for eleodes adults and larvae? I’ve read that many species report as being pests on roots in crop fields, but I’ve never actually read...

It’s that time again when ESA rolls around, anyone else going to the conference in Vancouver??? I swear a couple of people here went last year, but I didn’t know that in time, so anyone else gonna be there?

Sooo, I have a few wheel bugs (one I caught, and two more I got from my friend) but I’m having trouble finding anything on caring for them (although I read that eggs are apparently hard to keep alive). So does anyone have any advice on care for these? I’m mainly looking for nymph care, as I know...

Welp, atm my HFB colony is booming once again, and I can spare to see some! These are probably one of the easiest beetles to rear, requiring less care than even tenebrio molitor! IMO, it’s definitely one of the most unique eastern darkling species, resembling what you would end up with if you...

I was going to individually tell this to everyone who’s bought from me, but decided to post here instead. Anywhom, to anyone who has bought stag beetle larvae from me within the last year, the larvae are now officially confirmed lucanus elaphus, and supposedly should pupate soon/have already...

Alrighty, since I’ve just gotten back from New Mexico, where I collected quite a few eleodes, I decided to put this post up. I know how to, and have experience, getting them to breed, lay eggs, and getting larvae to grow. However, all of my previous rearing attempts have come to a halt seemingly...

Josh contacted me a few weeks ago, great communication, quick responses, and the insects were sent in great condition and packaging! Would definitely do business with him again!

So, about a week ago my friend and I went hunting in the woods (bug hunting, not he other kind). As we were chopping open a log, we found several of these small-medium sized brownish black beetles, normally I would’ve dismissed them as chafers, but was interested by their larger abdomens and...

Welp, it’s almost time for the annual msu bug camp, and I’m stoked! Of course, I gotta ask if anyone else here will happen to be going, as it’s always fun to meet fellow breeders! Also, as a side note, effective Thursday, I won’t be shipping out any orders until I get back from camp, which will...

Well, today marks the day that I have officially raised an exotic beetle to maturity. I am in Texas right now, but back in Georgia one of my mecynorrhina pupae has just hatched into a beetle! Super excited for this! And I cant wait til more hatch and theyre ready to breed! If you want pictures...

Well guys, in a couple days Im heading to the port lovaka area of Texas (i think mid-east Texas or something like that). Im not totally sure what to expect in terms of insects, though Im hoping for G. Caseyi and glowspot click beetles. If anyone has any advice on what to look for, what sorts of...

So, a few days ago I was out collecting leaves, and I found a group of beetles in the lower levels of leaves. On first sight, I immediately assumed that these were carrion beetles, they arent too large, and dont seem to be brightly colored like many silphids, but I grabbed them up anyways. Once...

Hey yall! So I got a few new stags yesterday, c. Metallifer and o. Ludekingi to be exact, and Im not totally sure how to get them to mate. I put them both in the egg laying setup together, but the female seemed to show no interest in mating and burrowed down after a few minutes. Im assuming Im...

As the title hopefully portrays, I am selling all of my Euphoria Inda adults. These adults have been laying eggs for about a week and a half, so Im not totally sure how many theyll lay now (Im pretty sure theyre reaching theyre limit). Adults are 3$ each, and if you order 2 or more Ill try to...
