moghue Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 Hello all. Just thought I would pop in and say hi. I just branched out into beetles. All I have right now is some bess beetles I collected in the woods behind my house. So anyone on here from Delaware by any chance Quote
moghue Posted April 29, 2013 Author Report Posted April 29, 2013 Oh forgot to mention I do have over 100 tarantulas, 15 different species of roaches, 15 scorpions, 4 snakes, 2 red foot tortoises. Quote
a.ojala Posted April 29, 2013 Report Posted April 29, 2013 Welcome to the forum, by any chance do you have any trancula pairs up for sale/trade? Quote
Greatwun Posted April 30, 2013 Report Posted April 30, 2013 Welcome to the forums! I was out searching the other day and found a place full of bess beetles. Everytime I cracked open some rotting logs I would find one or a pair. Quote
moghue Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Posted April 30, 2013 That's all I'm really finding were I live. Kind of wish I could find other beetles. Hopefully once it warms up a bit there will be more things to find Quote

Hopefully once it warms up a bit there will be more things to find Welcome to the forums! I have been fortunate enough to have visited Delaware and seen many pinned specimens from there. I have seen pinned specimens(collected in DE) of Cotinis nitida, Lucanus capreolus, Dynastes tityus, Osmoderma eremicola, Xylorectes jamaicensis,and some fantastic giant divers....the D. tityus I saw was an exceptionally large male..... On my collection trips there I have also found Megalodacne sp., bess beetles, some big mystery grubs, and some cool looking rove beetles hanging out near a certain fungus. One of those trips I found a dying Xyloryctes jamaicensis female in a parking lot in the middle of November. It was 45 degrees! I guess being dumb doesn't pay off. Quote
moghue Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Posted May 1, 2013 Lol cool I was hoping that D.tityus was in Delaware. I'm just not sure how to find them or even where to look. Quote
