Hotwingforgery Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Hi everyone, I'm Shannon and I'm just getting started in the beetle/invertebrates hobby! I never knew you could keep beetles as pets, but I recently read an article on the hobby in Japan and was absolutely intrigued. I used to catch and keep Junebugs as a kid so raising beetles from larva is super exciting. I currently have a dynastes tityus and a stag larva from bugs in cyberspace...and I already want more (they're very cute!) I hope I can raise them into awesome adults. I have one very general dumb question- the larvae I received are L1 or L2 but there was no specification, is there a way to tell the age of the larvae without knowing when they molted or hatched? Thanks so much! yay beetles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugboy3092 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Welcome, and yes there is, if you look online and see the head size for l1,l2, and l3 grubs you can compare them to yours and see which one seems to fit the most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
