Hi again! I just found my first larvae yesterday. I believe them to be from the species I rear (Coelosis bicornis) since that's the rhino beetle that occurs in that area. There's barely any information on this species, so maybe you guys can help me figure it out. I found 3 larvae, 1 appears to...

Hello! I just got a bunch of rotten wood and I was wondering what is the best way to clean it and get rid of possibly any other insects like termites and ants that might be on it. How can I do it?

Hi! I've been looking into how I can make flake soil the easiest way possible as I never attempted such thing. I was wondering if wood pellets used for cat litters are okay. They seem to be just plain natural wood with nothing extra added in so I figured it must be ok but I want to confirm. I...

Hello. I got a Heterogomphus female but it don't seem to get used to being caged. It is not eating and it's pretty weak so I think, if I keep it, it will die. So I decided to release it but I can't release it on the place I found the beetle. I may be able to do it next week but I don't know if...

Hi again. My beetles (2 male Ox Beetles) are doing fine and I have only one problem: Fruit Flies. How do I get rid of them? I already saw people saying they can lay eggs on the beetles. I don't want to keep killing them so how can I make them stop entering the beetle's cage?

Hi. I'm from Brazil and I just got my first two beetles (2 Male Strategus Aloeus) and I'm enjoying taking care of them. I caught them in nature and I guess I will try to get a female or two. This is actually not my first post, but I was desperate on figuring out how to take care of these guys so...
