So, after about 14 years of planning and work, I finally held my own Hercules Beetle!

(plus a few of my other all-time-favorite beetles that I had never seen in person before)

Now to continue work on my ultimate goal.. a beetle rearing facility..

Awesome beetles! Hopefully we can get these legalized within the US sometime soon...

Good works!

Steve, you try getting Hercs legalized in the states yet?

 

[Beetle-Experience]

Not yet, working on some ideas that might have a better shot

Did these all come in on a museum import? I know the major supplier usually does two imports a year, and the museum I volunteer at just received their beetle shipment. We also got a Hercules beetle.

It may have been part of that same import
