All About Arthropods Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 Good evening. 😛 I've decided to start up a photo thread on my pretty small, but growing beetle collection after finally learning how to share pictures easily here thanks to the one and only, @Hisserdude. Let's begin things with my most miniscule and possibly most otherworldly species, your favorite pest, Mezium affine.

The Mantis Menagerie Posted January 1, 2019 Report Share Posted January 1, 2019 I have two questions. First, where do you find Mezium affine in the US? Second, what do these beetles eat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will eat really any grain-based product in captivity, although I have seen that they prefer dogfood over oatmeal for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
