Ratmosphere Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 This topic goes out to the Dorcus Titanus Palawanicus. This is a 102mm dead specimen. The mandibles are huge and this beetle is very heavy! I can only hope to receive a live one in life. This photo was taken with the iPhone 5s. P.S. Don't buy beetles when it is cold out.

pannaking22 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Bummer man, sorry to hear that That's a heck of a beetle! I'm supposed to get some shipped to me this week and I'm pretty nervous about the cold here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmosphere Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I wish you luck my friend. Let me know how it plays out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Thanks and I certainly will! The shipper said they had heat packs and styrofoam, so that should (hopefully) serve as a good shield against the cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sorry it took me so long to say, but the beetles and larvae all made it without a scratch! Awesome stuff, though my adult males aren't nearly as large as yours (70 mm and 40 mm respectively). Still super cool though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmosphere Posted April 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 The woman who I purchased these from replaced them. I couldn't be happier. What a nice person! The size is 101mm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratmosphere Posted December 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2016 Titan Monster Beetle Shop, although I do not recommend importing invasive species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
