So an update post on my Megasoma Elephas they seem to be doing well! I am providing a few pictures and want to know if anyone has ever reared them before? Are mine close to pupating?

I checked on my larvae a few days ago (about 3-4) days and today I decided to take a peek just in case and noticed a big chunk of substrate missing on the side with wet marks. Is this larvae pupating? If so, I suppose the best thing is to leave him/her alone, but I also have the other...

So went to the park today with my girlfriend to walk a lot instead of going to the gym and to enjoy the scenery as well. Obviously I brought my backpack in case I found some decent usable wood for substrate. Well I found a huge oak tree knocked down and a huge majority is rotted and fresh and...

What kinds of substrate do you guys normally use?? I have this for some L3 dynastes larvae it is a mixture of 50/50 oak and oak leaves. Rotted of course. I tend to bake my substrate and also use a ninja blender to blend it into what feels like super soft coffee grinds. What other methods of...

So I've been wondering for quite some time now..what species tend to have cannibalistic tendencies? I've heard Lucanus may at times when they become larger L3's but does it solely happen with Stag larvae or does it happen with Dynastes as well? Really intrigued to finding out why and how? Also...

Sometimes I notice that one or two larvae will secrete a black looking liquid out of their mouths or rectum when I inspect them they seem fine...just worries me. Anyone know of what this is or have experienced this?

Both of my larvae (sexed pair) seem to be thriving rather nicely in their substrate and always like to be near each other. Took photos today and now I'm wondering if anyone wants to take a shot in the dark and inform me on how close they are to possibly pupating?? They seem rather yellow and I'm...
