Buying beetles in the usa.

I'm wanting to get some pet beetles but I'm having some issues with finding a reliable place to buy them. I live in Arkansas and from what I read, some species are legal but it's very vague on which ones are legal and illegal. I found this one website called "Bugshippers" but I'm not sure if they're live or if they're just specimens but they also sell almost every beetle and I'm sure that if they are live that this could be illegal. any ideas or helpful advice?

They have quite the list..I highly doubt the exotic beetles offered on the website are alive. Goliathus is the only exotic beetle that is legal.

Warning that website is a fake they are using Backwater reptiles stuff.

 
I recommend going to bugsincyberspace.com there are lots of beetles available , or insectbrothers or usbeetles

Bugshippers is a scam! we've been through this topic at Insectnet, avoid them, if you want to waste your money, send it to me.

Try Bugsincyberspace, or Insectbros for sellers in the USA, I'm sure there are others, but I know Bugs is reliable.

If you're in the USA, forget about shipping from Asia as well, without a permit, it's illegal and you could end up with a 6 figure

fine and probation.
