Hello, I have gotten out of breeding beetles. I was really into it while in Japan and now back state side and have no use for all my cases. I have a bunch of really nice cases called Kobae shutters. The filters on top keeps the gnats out and moisture in. The sizes I have are mini 110 x 180 x...

Selling Megasoma elephas and DHH hercules larvae. PM me for details.

Well looks like I am going to have to keep up my hobby the hard way. After 3 years of having easy access to to all things beetles I moving back to the U.S.

I have a DHH male and female in the same box. The female has made a pupa cell in the bottom of the case. I have a mite problem and can see several crawling around the pupa and I also worry about the male messing up her cell. Should I move her to a artificial cell?

I just checked for eggs after my first try in breeding cyclommatus metallifer finae. I found 18 eggs, man those suckers are tiny! I was worried because the female hardly moved at all when I got her then she went straight under the substrate when I put her in with the male and I have not seen her...

Can anyone recommend a specimen case for a large dried beetle like Hercules Hercules?

Picked up this guy and a female. They are local from near my house, the beetle shop I went to was in the middle of no where and I am pretty sure I was the first American in their shop:). I now need to study up on hibernation and breeding them.

I have never been into taking pictures and know very little about cameras. That being said I find myself wanting to take pictures of some of my beetles. Can anyone recommend a camera that is good for macro, but not super expensive ?

So I sorted through all my substrate and I have 166 larvae. I have no idea what I am going to do with them. Learned a lesson here.

I several Prosopocoilus giraffa keisukei that I bought as L2 and they are doing well in thier kinshi bottles. I now have some more Prosopocoilus giraffa keisukei and Dorcus titanus palawanicus that are L1 and I remember reading or someone told me it might not be good to place larave in kinshi...

Last fall I found a bunch of Allomyrina dichotoma larvae (L3) and put 25 in one 50 liter container and another 25 in a second 50 liter container. They made pupa cells in late April and then my ship had to go out to sea so I left my wife in charge. As the adult beetles emerged in May she removed...

I have a few Dhh larvae that are still in the substrate they were in when I bought them. It is time for a sub change but there is a lot of gnats in the current sub. I know you are supposed to mix 20% or so of the old sub with the new. If I cook it will kill the gnats, but also the good bacteria...

Set this up in my living room. Sooner or later my wife will stop complaining.

Hello, I acquired 2 male and 2 female Dyanastes Hercules Hercules larvae. I hope to raise these to imagoes and breed them. I have a couple questions. 1. Because the male tends to emerge much later than the female I have heard that if you keep the male and female larvae in the same container...

My son and I started with a couple of rino beetles last year and really enjoyed them. Then late this winter we found 50 rino Beetle larva in the park that are now in the pupa stage. Based on what I have read is that when they come out I can put each one into its own small container for 2 or 3...

Will a beetle make a pupa cell in a kinshi bottle or do you have to move it when it gets ready to change? Sorry if this has been answered already I did a searched and did not see anything,
