Wanted: Cool Darkling Beetles

[Inle]

My son's birthday is coming up next month and I was wondering if anyone had any cool looking darkling beetles for sale or trade for his community tank. Anything with any cool body shape or size or color. I thought this guy, Eleodes caudiferus, was pretty neat looking myself. I'd also be very interested in any of the Red Striped darklings. I'm not looking for anything to breed but pairs or groups would be awesome. This is just for my soon-to-be-5-year-old's community tank, he asked for beetles and Spiderman things for his birthday.

I have Eleodes acuticauda larva, but they are pretty small and I am guessing you want actual beetles.

I will probably grab a few larva here and there but mostly looking for beetles. We watch them do their beetle thing every night before bedtime. I was mostly just seeing if anyone had anything interesting one here before I buy from one of the shops or if anyone was interested in trading for some Eleodes goryi? I have tons of E. goryi!
