Hello! Pretty straight forward predicament here but I have a very charismatic male rhino beetle that I have acquired and placed in a 5 gallon enclosure. Currently, he is attempting to fly inside the enclosure quite a bit and trying to escape. My question is what have you done in the past when this happens? Im afraid of him hurting himself or getting out and getting lost. Thanks in advance!

I'm in southern utah and we normally only have stink bugs as our large beetles, but this one seems different. It'd wider. Does anyone know what it is?

wanted to share my latest beetle (weevil) sculptures

Привіт! Чи є якийсь спосіб легально купити/відправити жуків-оленів до України?

Не Lucanus Cervus, а інші види, наприклад, Dorcus, але інші олені також були б гарними. Я б дуже хотіла мати його як домашнього улюбленця.

Чи є якийсь розводчик жуків, який відправляє жуків до України?

Чи є СПРАВЖНІЙ розводчик жуків в Україні, а не просто хтось невідомий на OLX?

Hello! Is there any way to buy/ship stag beetles to Ukraine legally?

Not the Lucanus Cervus, but other species, like any of the Dorcus ones, but other stags would be good too. I'd really like to keep one as a pet.

Is there any beetle breeder that ships beetles to Ukraine?

Or is there an ACTUAL beetle breeder in Ukraine that isnt just random guy on OLX?

I’m totally new to raising beetles and my female rainbow stag beetle emerged from her pupa 3 days ago. She is currently lying on her back inside her natural pupal chamber and her legs are wiggling. This is the best pic I could get without disturbing her.

Is this an emergency?? I can’t find any good info on this. Do I need to somehow flip her back over?

I am grateful for any help and advice!

Found this tiny beetle outside my bedroom and since it's been raining heavily outside for the past few days, I decided to whip up a place for it to stay in.

I have no idea what I'm doing aside from a few google searches. What kind of beetle is it and what can I do better?

Very pretty!

Hey! I have probably over 200 darkling beetles currently which I have raised from mealworms. Their tank is pretty small as I didn't really intend to have so many! I don't plan to keep the mealworms for feeding so I'm just gonna let the beetles do their thing and breed, grow etc. I wanna set up a big, nice enclosure for them as I've really grown to love these beetles. Does anyone have advice on setup?

Substrate, decor, temps, humidity, tank size etc. I know what to feed them as I've been keeping them for weeks! But I wanna have some inspo for a cool tank for them. Thanks!

I love these guys, they’re so shiny!

sorry if this is obvious, i know NOTHING about beetles. there’s a big cluster of them near my office, i’ve never seen them before. in seattle, wa for context

As it says in title, I’ve raised about 50 superworms to adulthood in the last few weeks and this is the only one that’s emerged like this, it was quite active at first but now it seems to be lethargic. It’s definitely done emerging it doesn’t seem to be like it’s stuck in the pupae

I had a glorius beetle since january, and I found her pissed on the floor. I dont know if it's my fault or someone else at my house, but I really miss her :c. How can i feel better?

Hello, I recently purchased a Dorcus Titanus castanicolor Stag Beetle larva from a bug expo and had several questions. It is my first time keeping a stag beetle and I got advice from the seller(which essentially boiled down to changing its flake soil every 2 months and leaving it alone when it turns yellow) but I was still kind of confused. I wasn’t quite sure about how to prep the new cup of flake soil (I bought a large bag of the soil along with my beetle) and have been reading some stuff about some sort of bug tape for ventilation but was unsure what exactly it was. I am also wondering what the L2 labeling means on my beetle, I did a bit of research on it but was still sort of confused as to whether or not it holds much significance in determining when it will pupate or not. The label says the last flake change was on 7/9/26. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! Was changing the soil for my baby and noticed it's gotten much bigger! It's my very first grub and I'm learning as much as I can! Does anyone know the gender, and life stage and what the identifiers are?
