philipee32 Posted September 12, 2015 Report Posted September 12, 2015 I've noticed when some of my beetles have died they left a dried stream of white is that normal? Quote
Bill Myers Posted September 15, 2015 Report Posted September 15, 2015 Never seen that. What type of beetles are they? Quote
philipee32 Posted September 16, 2015 Author Report Posted September 16, 2015 Xyloryctes thestalus, and Chrysina gloriosa. But I had them in rubber containers maybe it's not noticeable on soil. I gave them water which they say you don't have to do. Could that have possibly been the culprit? We have very hard water in Az hence the white? But it's not like they all died at once. I gave xyloryctes thestalus water because they would walk through,and push the little things of maple syrup around and I could see it ball up on them. So I thought they would good if they cleaned off which seemed too work. Quote
