Goliathus goliatus females wanted

[MrBlueSky]

Y’all already know. I want to breed this fantastic species, and have offers on adult and L3 males, but I need females. If ANYONE has them or knows where to get them, please let me know. Thank you in advance and have a nice day.

Bugs in cyberspace sells larvae, but does not sex them. He also does not sell adult females, although he does sell adult males.

Bugs in Cyberspace larvae gave me a 3:1 male:female sex ratio out of four grubs, but that may hold true for the larger population as well. 

 

[Fire Moth]

I got 5:1 male:female ratio

Are beetles normally more males than females in a population?

Are beetles normally more males than females in a population?

That's an interesting question, I would think that males in any insect population would outnumber females, given the female insect's

ability to lay multiple ova, and in large numbers with some species. Now I've got something new to think about. Otherwise perhaps, like in beetles,

males wouldn't be built for fighting if every male had a mate, although there is the gene pool to consider, with females wanting the best mate.

We know it is true with ant, bee and mantis

It makes sense if the specie lays more eggs per female. It would have less females within the population.
