Male D. tityus

[arizonablue]

My D. tityus pair has been burrowed under the substrate for months now, and I finally got impatient enough to dig them up for a photo shoot. The male in particular is stunning. The female has a duller color but hopefully she will be a good breeder and I'll get some eggs from them! I haven't been keeping them cold, so maybe now that I've bothered them they'll decide to come up and eat soon!

I love the horns on the sides. You usually do not see those.

D. tityus are so cute because the hair covering their heads looks like bangs. I think it was mentioned in the Ultimate Guide to Breeding Beetles, but once you see it, it's impossible not to. lol

That's a handsome man! I really do need to get a better camera and lighting setup.
