Yeah, they completely covered in hair, and the males also have cool mucros! (The pointy extension of the elytra).

Thanks, hopefully they'll breed for me!

And we have larvae!

BIC has a page specifically for them: http://shop.bugsincyberspace.com/Fuzzy-Darkling-Beetle-bic947.htm Looks like he's all sold out ATM, but he usually has them in stock somewhat regularly!

Oh yeah, these bred like crazy for me, super easy to rear too, had dozens of CB adults at the height of my colony. Then I sold them all off when I left the hobby temporarily back in 2018.
