arizonablue Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 My D. tityus pair has been burrowed under the substrate for months now, and I finally got impatient enough to dig them up for a photo shoot. The male in particular is stunning. The female has a duller color but hopefully she will be a good breeder and I'll get some eggs from them! I haven't been keeping them cold, so maybe now that I've bothered them they'll decide to come up and eat soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyprNekoStorm Posted January 20, 2018 Report Share Posted January 20, 2018 I love the horns on the sides. You usually do not see those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspenentomology Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 D. tityus are so cute because the hair covering their heads looks like bangs. I think it was mentioned in the Ultimate Guide to Breeding Beetles, but once you see it, it's impossible not to. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyperdistortia Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 WHOA. WAIT A MINUTE. D. tityus actually has 2 little horns? I did not know this. All this time I've been ignoring it because if its size. D. neptunus is my favorite rhino beetle, but this is like the cute, little version of it.
