Anyone know the full diet of M. affine? I've thought about getting some to use as eventual feeders for dart frogs, but talking with a couple frog people they found some pest control site that says they eat plants. So my question becomes will they eat living plant material, or are they more...

Found a few of these down here, so I'm wondering if they're kept like other Phileurini?

I was poking around a little trying to find out about this genus and all I seem to find is that they're tough to keep successfully. Anyone have thoughts on this or has anyone had success? There are several species here in south Texas, so I figure I'd might as well give it a shot!

What species of tenebrionids do you all keep? Could be as pets, feeders, or both.

Roman isn't a part of this forum, but I just wanted to warn people that may come across him on other forums or on Facebook. He sells roaches for the most part and I know many people who keep inverts don't just stick to one group. This is a review I just posted on Roach Forum. Please keep in mind...

So I have been contacted about finding a large scarab beetle for research purposes and I was wondering if anyone here would want to help out with this? I don't have any large scarabs right now, so I can't help her out to much. Her email is below. If you want to help out with this project...

With summer in full swing now, I'd like to expand my collection of: Buprestidae Cicindelidae Cerambycidae Scarabeidae: Scarabeinae other beetle families I have lots of dead stock of my own that I can trade across a wide variety of insects orders/families. Let me know what you have or what you...

I gave a friend of mine a handful of beetles I had collected because he wanted to pin it up naturally and get some pictures of it. Normally I'm somewhat hesitant doing that, especially with uncommon/rare species, but in this case I let him do it. Well, this time it came back and bit me in the...

I've come across a couple dying oak trees (pin oak I believe) that are dropping their leaves and I was hoping to pick up as many as possible. However, I don't believe the trees are dying from old age. They seem to be dying from a rust of sorts and all the leaves have strange white circles on...

While on vacation recently out I in Colorado, I collected a bunch of darkling beetles of 4 (5?) species. I really want to breed them, especially the extra large species I came across so other hobbyists can enjoy them. I've found a little bit of info here on Beetle Forum, but I was wondering if...

Title says it all. I'm looking for US buprestids (and maybe cerambycids, depending on the species you have), especially Buprestis spp., Chrysobothris spp. and some of the larger Agrilus spp. (no Agrilus planipennis (emerald ash borer) due to them being illegal to ship), though I'm not too picky...

Had a really good collecting trip over the weekend! Got a few more specimens that I didn't have, so very happy about that Check out the pics here!

A friend of mine emailed me with a question and I figured it would be better to post it up here than try to answer it on my own. He lives in New Jersey if that helps narrow things down a bit. "I'm going to need the help of all the beetle experts here. As you have read in the title, I am trying...

Went on a short collecting trip over the weekend and managed to find some cool beetles! Having issues posting pics, but you can read the post and see the pics here!

Can Phanaeus vindex be fed something other than dung for short periods of time? I may get some for outreach purposes and I would rather the enclosure didn't smell too bad (our insectary doesn't have the best ventilation). Finally got the ok to buy some outreach beetles, and I want to wow everone

Post title says it all. I got some G. caseyi in the mail and I was wondering if they could be kept together (assuming they have enough food of course)?

Where do you guys find your leaves in winter? Things are pretty frozen out my way, so that makes collecting them a bit difficult...
