Beetlebee Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I keep my male Dynastes tityus beetles in a plastic container that has dividers, one beetle in each divided space. I currently only have two male beetles, no females at all. Today, I had found that one had escaped his little area and was sitting next to the other male, and then just a few moments ago I found them trying to mate!! LOL! I know they aren't literally gay beetles, but it was pretty funny lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyprNekoStorm Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Maybe one of the beetles just got tired waiting for a female... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlebee Posted November 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 Something must have them becoming more active. I had a beetle jelly each for them that went untouched for a while and suddenly both are completely eaten up now lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 They aren't "homosexual", since they don't have conscious thought, male beetles just mate with basically anything that resembles what their mate is supposed to look like, including other males of their species, and even individuals of other species! Heck, I think Peter from BIC said one of his rhino males tried mating with his hand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garin Posted November 16, 2017 Report Share Posted November 16, 2017 I can understand, Peter has very sexy hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlebee Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 lol! Yeah, I know multiple species exhibit homosexual tendencies, but I didn't think that this beetle knew quite what was really going on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beetlebee Posted November 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 Species was a little too vague. I mean other animals in general like some mammals and stuff lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
