Mashku Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Hello everybody, exist in the USA Insect fairs or similar ? How do you "buy" your Beetles or other insects ? Greetings, Mashku. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Clausen Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 We do have a few insect fairs, but live beetles aren't typically available at these events. Mostly, we collect US species and raise them. Occasionally, some hobbyists will share material of non-native species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynastes Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 There are only a few insect fairs a year and they are far too far for most of us and also the primary product is dead insects. There are many reptile fairs within a few hours of anyone and those often have tarantulas but not beetles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mashku Posted December 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Thank you for answer, you two.

Uwang Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Very nice video. Those beetles are amazing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Clausen Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 Really wonderful video! The US is a wonderful country to be a beetle hobbyist in, but we sure are behind the times in tasteful pet hobbies! If I never see another dog or cat, I'll be just fine. When I see a video like that, I think of the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ometeo Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 We just had our annual BugFair at the Natural History Museum of LA County. Tons of live and dried inverts and insect related items. The one thing you can't buy/sell are beetles... specially since USDA and APHIS both have booths at the event... not that it has not happened in years past, but it's best not to ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
