barrbar Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 I recently decided to get back into keeping inverts and beetles seemed like a good fit for me. I doubt I'll be making many posts since I'm late to the party but I'm happy to find people who enjoy keeping beetles in my neck of the woods.

I haven't had any so far lol I haven't had any luck this year. The only sightings I've had this summer were a type of June bug, most likely Cotinis nitida. Lucanus capreolus is in range and I'm hoping to snag some next year. @PowerHobo Thank you I appreciate the welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugboy3092 Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 Welcome! While there definitely won’t be much in the city, a summer roadtrip to the southern part of the state is likely to get you some stags, or if you go north you may find osmoderma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrbar Posted October 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Thank you for the welcome! Osmoderma looks pretty interesting and I'll certainly be keeping my eyes open for them. I've been using the site iNaturalist.org to see what's been reported in my area. Honestly, I'm not familiar with many beetle species so I'm loving the suggestions.
