So I was suppose to buy a huge beetle, over 149mm. However, there was miscommunication with the seller and she sent me the wrong pictures of the beetle. When I was ready to pay for it, she sold out. I was set on this expensive beetle and turned down other offers so I could get this. If I knew...

Buying one at a reasonable price, PM me.

So I've been breeding beetles and selling larvae for a while now. Usually I wait until the larvae are L2 to ship them out. However, I want to produce them at a faster rate and ship them out as soon as I could. I was told to wait 2 months after hatching to ship them safely. How long after...

Buying Phidippus purpuratus males and females, $12 each. These are found in Connecticut and other north east states as well as some parts of Canada.

Does anyone know the size in mm that makes a Megasoma elephas elephas a minor?

Just curious on everyone's method on when they spray their larvae containers. Mine are all in smaller containers so the substrate dries out easily. This means that I have to spray them once every 3 days or so. What is your method?

Today I went on a nice hike in Exeter, RI. The trails were open and there was barley any brush. However, on the ride to another trail, I noticed a small tick on my hand. I pulled over immediately to wipe if off. Living in the north-east, Lyme disease is super common. Be careful and take...

What could these be? Found them on my hike today.

I know larvae like limited ventilation but would it be alright to stack larvae containers on top of each other? I have so many larvae and I'm running out of space. This is why I need to stack the containers. There are about 5 air holes on each container.

Growing up, we all had our favorite animal. My favorite animal was always a rat but my mom never let me have one. She thought they were gross creatures. I obsessed over rats, even wearing a belt as a tail some days. Sounds funny but it's true. After many years later, I got my first rat and named...

Earlier in the year, I heat treated and stored a huge amount of substrate for rhinoceros beetle larvae. The substrate was stored in my garage where it is extremely cold. I took it out today to fill up containers for larvae that I just found. When I brought it inside, I immediately noticed fungus...

We all have our favorite invert that's in our collection. I've had so many that it's hard to pick a specific favorite. After keeping many invertebrates, my all time favorite would be my female my ghost mantis. I could watch that thing for a long time and not get bored. Seeing her sway from side...

Hey guys! Last year I created my own company called Big Fiftuh. It all started as a joke but now the company is getting bigger. The company was recently in the February edition of Transworld Skateboarding magazine. The items on my site are made to attract skateboarders but almost anybody will...

Does anyone know the size in mm that makes a Dynastes hercules hercules a minor?

Dynastes grantii L1 larvae available, 10 dollars each. PM me.

If you had to choose between a Dynastes hercules hercules that was cheaper, lower in size, and a slightly curved horn and one thats about 40 more dollars, bigger in size, and has a perfect horn, which one would you pick?

Selling Archispirostreptus gigas female. She is mature and ready to breed. I am asking for 70 dollars, less than what I paid for. Local meet up would be ideal but the weather is too cold to ship right now. I am in CT for anyone who wants to meet up. If this is the route you want to take, I can...

Recently added a Lucanus elaphus flying through the forest on my arm. It wasn't what I originally wanted but the trees make it pop with the wolf. Didn't get any comments on Arachnoboards about it, might as well show you guys too. Enjoy!

I will be selling a large pair of rhinoceros beetles. Local pickup only, I am in CT. Will only give the species name to people in the north east or the surrounding states near me. I am asking for $200 dollars. The enclosure will be included as well as a good amount of beetle jellies. Since they...

So I had a fermented batch of substrate all ready for newly hatched larvae. After checking it today I noticed a horrid stench on each container. The containers smelled like ammonia. It smelled earthy when it was finished so I thought everything was good to go. I guess it fermented again. It is...
