I found this dude at work this morning. The crazy thing is that it was found on the pavement! This is the first time I ever saw a water scavenger beetle. It seems that all of the huge and most interesting bugs that I find are in the inner cities. Just the other day I found a dead Calosoma...

Sorry for the low quality picture; it was taken on Snapchat. By the time I went back to get an other picture, the beetle was flipped over and I didn't want to disturb it. Words can't describe how happy I am with how this male turned out. The female will probably emerge in a week or so. I'll be...

Willing to trade my dried beetle specimens for tarantula slings.

All I can say is, WOW. I've waited so long for this moment and its exciting. It seems to have some kind of birth defect on its butt that looks like a pigs tail. (Photos deleted.)

Just the other day I noticed my DTP female was unresponsive. Today, I checked on her and she was dead. I'm not sure how this happened. Maybe it was just old age or damage done by an aggressive male? Anyway, I'm having problems with my male rainbow stag beetle. It won't eat anymore since its...

The New York Metro Repile Expo is coming up this Sunday. I never been to one before but I'm thinking about going. Do functions like these usually sell tarantulas or other invertebrates?

How long does it usually take to have your account verified on www.arachnoboards.com? I waited like a week in a half and I still can't post or do anything on my account.

I went to a tattoo shop ready to schedule an appointment but the girl who makes the arrangements wasn't there. However, there was this super rad jumping spider enclosure sitting on her desk along with various interesting setups for other jumpers and tarantulas. Hope you enjoy. (Photos deleted.)

Do beetles lose body parts as they age?

Why does Dynastes Tityus color change to brown when burrowed in wet soil?

Follow me @venomdrips.

I always hear people calling long-armed beetles two different names. One is Euchiridae and the other is Euchirinae. Which is the correct name?

Found this while working today. Never saw something like this before.

Came back from vacation only to find a good amount of mold in one of my larvae containers. Could this mold be a health hazard? Or could it be beneficial for stag beetle larvae? (Photos deleted.)

Found this while on a walk. It was huge. Any idea on what it is? (Photos deleted.)

Found this in my grandparents garden in Rhode Island. What is it? (Photos deleted.)

My friend gave this today in school. I usually would release them but this one is so dang cute. How can I tell if it's a male or female? (Photos deleted.)

I will be finishing school Monday and want to take a week off before going to work full time for a local HVAC company. During this time I want to go to Newport, Rhode Island. How long can my beetles go without eating?
