Mikey, my Dyscinetus morator, has of some type of whitish-yellow crust growing on him. Up close it looks like little tiny egg cluster, but is more of a thin hard crust.  It's on the back of his wings, his legs and some spots on his carapace. At first I thought another cage mate pooped on him or...

 For trade, I'm looking for Pelidnota punctata, Phileurus truncatus, Phanaeus vindex , or Pachnoda marginata. But if you have any other scarabs you like to offer hit me up via PM. I prefer adults. All these beetles are yours for one of the beetles I listed/beetles you'de like to trade. All the...

I could use some help. Whats the best cooling pack? I've found some cold packs online, ones sold on bug sites, but they only last 24 hours! I ship via Priority Mail usps which takes between 1-3 days delivery. I found one that last 96 hours, and  keeps the temps at 2-8 celsius but they are like ...

Is anyone interested in them? I've been finding unusually large specimens this year, some reaching almost an inch. They will be wild caught, largest tend to have hitch-hike mites, but I'll try to clean them off the best I can. Rice Beetles make interesting pets. They're a little picky and don't...

What's the recommended light bulb for pet beetles? They currently share light from my art table lamp which has a regular white light bulb. They have a heating mat so I don't want something that produces much heat. I heard that too much exposure to UVA bulbs are toxic to insects and not...

I just found a new scarab tonight! I'm not sure what it is though. I tried to get the best pictures I could get, but I will also describe it's appearance. [ It is brown with light brown round the cheeks of it's face and underbelly. It kinda reminds me of a maybug or a member of the family...

Both are native to my location, but are a rare sight. I've used beer, grapes, and other fruit, but any scarabs I get are rice and sugarcane beetles. Anything else besides UV lights that would attract them? Thanks!

Hello, I'm from Richmond Virginia. I'm a 33 year old woman, artist, herp hobbyist, and at home auntie. Me and niece love to catch bugs. I love scarabs and currently own a Harlequin Flower Beetle and a Rice Beetle. I hope to collect more! 

Sounds kind of odd as you never see these in the insect trade, but I think they are cute and interesting and would like to own one as a pet! I prefer adults. I don't mind if wild caught. PM me if  you have any available.

Hi. I ordered a harlequin flower beetle from bugs in cyber space. I've had her for about a month now. My tank is humid though she tends to remain orange and black at all times. I also have provided a heating pad which should help with humidity. However, just a couple of days ago, I noticed some...
