Beautiful Bugs Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Do any beetles give live birth to miniature beetles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skink Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I don't think there are. Many cockroaches give live birth, though, if you're looking for a live birthing insect! I do not think cockroaches are technically beetles? I'm still pretty new to this myself. Not all of them are, but many roaches are ovoviviparous. Roach colonies are fun to keep and raise, especially if you have other animals that eat them. My dubia roaches give live birth, and I keep the colony for fun, as well as feeding my various vertebrate insectivores. The females are very cute!

Beautiful Bugs Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I used to have hissers and they were great! I'm pretty sure they are not beetles though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
