yep it's very interesting. I got an egg laid but I accidentally crushed it thinking it was an unusual pebble :(

ok thank you for the advice :) how would I breed a coastal species like E. nigropilosa?

do you think I can breed them with a clump of keratin? i'm using dog hair, feathers, nails, and my own hair. in my experience this species loves hairballs and coyote dung dry or fresh, that's how I found them. this species actually prefers waste over carcasses.

that's exactly what it is, woolly darkling beetle

maybe hylobius abietus

yes

that's a carpet beetle larva

you don't have to. tenebs don't make lots of waste so you don't have to.

as long as they don't have chemicals

i have many darkling beetles from southern CA that have never been bred in captivity before so i would love info, here are the species: E. acuticauda, E. grandicollis, E. nigropilosa, E. gracilis distans, E. carbonaria omissa, E. dentipes, trox gemmatus, and blapstinus...

does anyone know how to breed trox gemmulatus or trogidae in general? here's a photo:
