Hi everyone Anyone know how I could go about getting some spider beetles? After I saw them on youtube I fell in love for some reason I was thinking that maybe they would sooner or later come to some different foods if put outside. Like oats, and fruit.

Hi everyone Well, a little bit ago I got this message: Hmm...

Hi, I found this little guy in one of my pit fall traps. Anyone know what it is? I am thinking it may be a ground beetle larva of some sort. If so I may try breeding them again... I didn't know the larva looked like this. I may try getting it to eat something other than crickets.

Hi everyone Just wondering if it is legal to keep beetles that could be seen as "pest" like ten lined junes beetles and Cotinis? These beetles are not in Michigan so I am thinking they cannot live in the cold winters we have. I think these beetles are rather pretty and was thinking of keeping...

Hi everyone Figured I would post about the great seed trade I just had with gashat! Got a HUGE amount of seeds!

Hi everyone If anyone is interested I have some books, seeds, some plants, and other assorted things that I would be willing to trade for beetles, tarantulas, scorpions, isopods, or pretty much any other inverts. PM or contact me in some way for updated list of seeds.

I bought organic potting soil for my Dynastes granti and tityus. But it was wet so I let it sit out for a while (a couple weeks) on my porch to dry. With some of my plants I used to get this but it was white, and is actually calcium or other build ups. But I don't know about on these. If I...

Hi everyone I have collected about seven or so Harpalus sp. from my yard. Two were mating before I even got them in the container. Any one know info on breeding these and caring for the larva?

Hi everyone With Eleodes, Z. morio, and other darklings I have heard that to make them pupate, you can take away their food and they pupate. With my Z. morio I tried leaving the food in there and they all pupated with no problems. So I have food with all my Eleodes right now. What do you all...

Hi everyone I just bought a bunch of these little craft divider things (like tackle boxes) for $2 a piece and so I had my dad drill holes in each compartment. I am going to house all my Eleodes, Zophobas morio, and other beetle larva in this way. Anything that makes "mealworm" like larva. As...

Just caught it yesterday and it ate a cricket last night

Hi everyone I have rehoused my diabolical ironclads countless times now, all for the same reason... mold takes over their containers... The only time that mold does not appear is when I have them in a container with no substrate at all. But every time I put them in a container with...

Hi, I am so excited! While feeding my E. subnitens colony I found a little tiny wormy (larva) that quickly ran away into the soil Maybe after a little while, couple days or weeks or something I will try digging around and try to see how many I can find and maybe separate them like I have done...
