Today I went to look at my two Tityus larvae to see how they were doing, and while I was inspecting the first one I stumbled upon a pupal cell that unfortunately popped open and out came a small female pupa! It was really exciting since this is my first time rearing beetles. <3 She seemed...

Recently I had moved to a new apartment and although I've had gnats in the past, they were never this problematic. A couple females must have gotten in during the move cause they will not stop spawning;I can literally see their young crawling all through the substrate and on both of my larvae...

Lately my D. Tityus larvae have been still roaming their substrate, but they are very very yellow by this point and don't really seem to feed much anymore. The last couple times where I've taken them out while moisturizing the substrate, they seem a bit stiff and aren't as active as they were...

Just gave them some new substrate and I noticed how fat and yellow they've gotten. C: Even more hairy then before!

Found this guy flying around the apartment tonight! Though it was hard to get a decent shot of him cause he would not stand still. Any tips on how to care for these species? I know the adults normally feed on grapevines but I'm curious if there are any other sources of food/nutrition? I heard...

(dynastes tityus) I had noticed that they've been turning really yellow recently and have gotten much larger. Since then one of them has been making these visible pockets in the substrate over and over again. I believe these pictures might be a female, and the one I believe is the male is still...

It hasn't even been a week since I got my Tityus larvae and order of substrate and I just got a very small wave of these things. XD; It was kind of my fault really, because they weren't in there this morning. I had recently put a couple dog food pellets into the substrate but at some point and...

Found this guy strolling across my front door step tonight and I only managed to snag one decent picture. He was fast, and at some points started darting towards my fingers out of defense! Eventually he huddled his legs together and began to play-dead until I moved him into the nearby mulch. Was...

So I just got a pound of substrate from bugsincyberspace and I read the bag will last my larvae to adulthood. Considering that you need to change substrate every several months, what should I do with leftover substrate that I can use for later? I've heard some people freeze it, but should I...

Not sure if this topic goes here, but I was really excited when I found this at my door today! Thank you Pewrune! These guys are pretty big. XD

Eyed Click Beetle, Bess Beetles, Six Spotted Tigers, and an Earth Boring Scarab. C:

Hey everyone! Anyone willing to sell any Eastern Hercules Beetles? Late L3's or Adults, males preferably. But if at all possible I'm trying to get both a male and female so I could possibly start breeding them myself. I know bugsincyberspace.com sells larvae but they're unsexed.

Technically this isn't my first post, and I apologize for that, but I would like to introduce myself either way. My name is Daniel, I was born in WA but I've lived most of my life in the Maryland area. I'm currently graduating Shepherd University in WV with a Bachelor of Fine Arts! My website...

From what I've heard over the years it's not hard, but I can't seem to do it. I saw a female Eastern Hercules Beetle in an elementary school playground back when I was in elementary school (in Jefferson, MD). I'm 26 now and I've been searching for another one for years now with no luck. I...
