Ok, so I dug my D. Tityus male out of the substrate this about an hour ago, and he seemed limp and unresponsive. I think it might have gotten a little cold last night, so I put him under a heat lamp, a few moments later, he starts motoring his back legs uncontrollably, flipping over and...

As the title explains, Ive got many stag beetle larvae for sale, theyre supposedly L. Elaphus, but there is a small chance of them being P. Capreolus ( Ive only found L Elaphus in the area where I collected the grubs) larvae cost 10$ each, shipping costs 10$ for two day, 27 for overnight (LAG is...

Just curious, was anyone else here at the 2017 ESA meeting? I know its by and gone, but I would like to know who I (or anyone else here) missed meeting there.

So Ive been seeing these small hemipterans under bark, and Ive identified them as flat bugs. Ive been wondering if anyone cultures these in captivity, and if they have any advice. I saw one feeding on an apple slice in my hissing roach colony, could this be a better alternative food to the...

Ahh, as spring is starting to finally sweep the air, so is the breeding season for my horned fungus beetles! Ive noticed them starting to lay eggs, and Im very glad the colony has made it through the winter. Once summer rolls around, I will likely start selling some of these guys again (more on...

Sooo, a couple of times, Ive tried to integrate wild tiger beetle larvae (probably Virginia or pan headed tiger beetle) into captivity, and each time I end up with dead larvae. Is there a proper way to set up an enclosure for them? And if so how do I integrate them in? Any tips and information...

As the title says, Im looking for monoleima cactus Longhorns. If anyone has any, please pm me and we can work something out. Thanks!

As most can probably guess by the title, if there is a way to differentiate L.E. Larvae and P.C. Larvae, how do you do it? As I have some larvae that are most certainly one of the two, but I dont know which one it is (im going on the assumption that they are L.E., those are the only kind Ive...

As the title says, Im looking for velvet ant mimic jumping spiders, namely in the genus phidippus. Please dm me if you have them available, and we can work something out.

So, yesterday I found a beetle larva under some bark on a rotting log, Ive never seen one of these before, and Im going on the assumption that its a tenebrionid, its a little bit similar to meracantha contracta, except that the end is rounded and not caved in, plus Im pretty sure they dont live...

Sooo, I was setting up a cage for some new larvae when I noticed my largest eleodes larva making this against the wall of the container. Now I thought this strange since generally he (a) makes much smaller tunnels and ( usually doesn't make them against the wall of the container. Idk if he's...

As the title says I need help identifying some beetle larvae I found while out hunting today. Any care tips would be helpful too, and yes they were found inside a log.

Hey as the title says I'm looking for either a male, baby, or both vinegaroons. (Meaning I need a male, a baby, or both) and I am preferring a trade, but I can buy ( pm me for a list for trade)

So today I was checking on my eleodes mealworms, the oldest are only about two months old, but I found this guy at 1 3/4 INCHES!! Idk if that's normal (I thought it took way longer than that to get to 1 3/4 inches) but since it's an eleodes species (not spinipes, hispilabris, suturalis...

One of my Dynastes Tityus pupae is finally hatching!! I've been waiting for this for sooo long (six years I've been trying to get some of these!) and it's finally happening! And yes his horn is bent , that happened when he pupated. Also I will be posting a video of it on YouTube (my account is...

So I found a supposed darkling beetle tonight but I've never seen one like it and I can't find anything in field guides and such, so of course I've come here for help. Any ID or care tips would be GREAT!, thanks
