Arturo Garcia Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Hello I have been keeping mantids the last year, but I always wanted a bettle, last week I saw one for sale here in Mexico City and I couldn´t resist to buy it, it is a Megasoma, but I´m not sure exactly the specie. Now I´m here to learn from all of you and try to breed some beetles. There is a one liter bottle cap in the second pic. saludos Quote
Beetle-Experience Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 WOW - wish I could pick one of those up here! Looks like Megasoma elephas.. Quote
Regiarbol Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 Nice beetle! This is most likely Megasoma Elephas. It is one of my favorites. I am sure you will hear this many more times (if you haven't already), but you can give the beetles fruits to eat, like bananas. Quote
Fede_3D Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 Welcome Arturo!!, I´m new with beetle breeding too. your beetle is a big male of Megasoma elephas, one of the heavyweights in beetles world. Good luck with it!! Quote
axlopez Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 Welcome Arturo!!, I´m new with beetle breeding too. your beetle is a big male of Megasoma elephas, one of the heavyweights in beetles world.

Arturo Garcia Posted October 8, 2010 Author Report Posted October 8, 2010 Thank you all, I think the first pic is not displayed . I have gave him a banana and he ate it!!!, some time I let it walk around and I saw him fling, really amazing!!!! I think I´m going to buy the female, and later when I got her, I´ll let you know my doubts. saludos Arturo Quote
Peter Clausen Posted October 10, 2010 Report Posted October 10, 2010 Arturo, Could you please send me a private message with the location you bought the beetle from? I have family in Mexico and they would love to buy this species. Thank you and welcome! Quote
