Do you know a price they are sold for? 

 

[AlexW]

Assuming that "Texas ironclad" = Zopherus nodulosus haldemani, I imagine that the price is likely 6 to 8 dollars each (similar species sell for this much).

I would be interested in buying few of these at this price. Do you sell these Alex, or know someone that does?

Thank you

I do not sell insects.

Bugs in Cyberspace almost never has them listed in his shop, but he has a "secret pile" of bugs which he reserves for emailed special requests.

Good luck

I might also just get some Diobolical ironclads but thanks for the info

Best thing to do here would probably be to have some Texas local friends keep an eye out for them, you’re much more likely to get them if you have multiple people looking out for them (plus you probably won’t have to pay as much, if anything)
