When I checked on my gravid D.tityus female today she seemed a little stiff. She was all the way in a jelly container that I put some banana in but most of it was eaten. When I pulled her out she has moving a tiny bit but seemed kind of stiff and dry and defiantly not moving as much as usual...

All the rotten wood I've been collecting is very dark in color. Even when I found some kind of light colored wood it turned dark not long from when I collected it. I see some people use lighter almost opaque looking wood. Is one better for growth than the other? Thanks, Jordan

Hey everyone, So I always hear that is is completely illegal to have beetles shipped into the us from another country but what are the laws for shipping in the us? I've heard that you can only ship a species to another state if the state you are shipping to is a native home to that species. Is...

I just finished purchasing from Ometeo and I can say nothing except positive things about my experience. I'm new to the beetle world and he was extremely helpful and answered any and every question I could think of. My package was shipped out quickly and arrived quickly. Overall super helpful...

This is is close up of the part you guys are probably more interested in.

Well since I saw some cool beetle art here I though I'd share a piece of mine I'm working on including beetles.

As well as looking for Dynastes tityus, granti and Lucanus elaphus to buy I also have a few questions on purchasing them. I haven't been successful at all with finding any for sale so is this a bad time of the year to try? If so when is the best time? I'm also worried about the legal side. I've...
