Egg
Hello!
I recently purchased some Diabolical Ironclad, Phloeodes diabolicus, beetles for a community desert tank. Today, I saw them both breeding with each other. I have never raised this type of beetle before. I was wondering if anyone had resources on their rearing? I am currently mainly concerned with egg laying habits, such as substrate/moisture needs, and egg laying timelines.
I haven't tried raising any beetles of this species, nor even any ironclads before, so any information would be greatly appreciated!
