Hello all!  After 2 years, my D. tityus beetles have finally become adults. I've set up an aquarium from Carolina Biological Supply to house them in, but the edges of the tank have been sealed with a clear caulk of some sort to prevent leaks. I'm sure this is useful for fish, but fish can't...

So, my G. caseyi was rolled onto its back when I looked at it today, and while it has usually been able to right itself by grabbing some leaves or something, this time I helped it back up. Upon looking at it, a wing tip was sticking out from between the elytra on its back, and the other wing...

Hey all! My first beetlekeeping experience was partially successful - although one of the cells died, the other made it to completion and emerged recently! He's been spending most of his time underground and moves pretty sluggishly, so I think he may be trying to overwinter. It's still pretty...

Hey all! After some success with my G. caseyi, I'm going to be raising some D. Tityus. Since these larvae will be eating hardwood rather than mostly leaflitter, I was wondering what you all thought would be the correct specifications to keep the substrate at - depth, moisture, etc. Let me know...

My first beetles, a pair of gymnetis caseyi, should be emerging as imagos soon as one of them has made a pupal cell. Since they'll be coming out, I'll be looking for some new larvae to raise! What are some of your favorite species as suggestions? Thanks!

Hi! I'm brand new to this, and I actually have never kept a beetle before. I'd really like to buy some larvae to start out with, but supplies seem to be really limited, especially among the larger species. Nonetheless, I'll hopefully be able to find something I'd like to order soon, and then I...
