Here’s my stag and a soon to be Hercules. 

I finally installed a photo compressor so I can share some photos 😂 

Does anyone have any variety of scarab larva? Glorious, rainbow or the like? I know scarab is really broad,I’m open to suggestion, just planning for next year! Anything but harlequin flower beetles, I have plenty of those. Thanks! 

I had really good luck this year raising gymnetis thula (harlequin flower beetles) and have what looks to be a lot of L1 and L2 larva. I haven’t done a full count yet because I’m not ready to disrupt the enclosure until the adults have all died but I’d guess a few dozen. So I’m putting out...

Hi everyone! I’m here to learn and to hopefully get some resources for sourcing some new beetle friends. I’ve already learned a bit just by going over past posts, you’re a very knowledgable group. I’ve always kept cool bugs that I could find but I’m having my first try at making eco systems for...
