[manticora]

hi, pete from the hot steamy state florida,i'm a bugman.........yeah i know aint we all

i keep many bugs...tarantulas,scorpions,centipedes, etc. and my main thing is predatory beetles,i'm keeping pasumachus sp. right now,ive kept the diving beetles,colosomas,cicndelas(spelling) i had anthias in the past(awsome active predators),but what i really want is the holy grail of pred.beetles..........manticora!! ooh someday i hope. finally a beetle forum! yay!

Hi Pete,

I thought you had manticora once? They are amazing but I think the large Anthias species are a bit nicer. I haven't seen any monster species in many years now (just those one-time Amblycheila). Do you have pics of Anthias and other predatory beetles?

Hi Pete,

Thanks for joining! I know there must be many others out there that have been waiting to find a committed beetle forum. The problem for us is HOW to spread the word to them! How did you find us?

Anyway, glad you made it here and excited to learn some things about beetles from you as we get this forum going!

I wasn't familiar with Anthia, so I did a web search and found this page:

http://www.beetlesofafrica.com/cat_select....Carabidae+Large.

Pretty interesting website!

hi orin, no pics unfortunitly,sorry, the anthias i had years back were very impressive! shouldve took pics of them, the green pasumachus are doing awesome and the giant sp. from fla. aswell,i have one from arizona aswell,pretty long lived beetles.
