I have an adult trio of Dynastes tityus which I purchased from Kingdom of Beetle Taiwan back in November. They have been in hibernation since I got them. One of the females has a slight deformity on the bottom of her abdomen which is barely noticeable and will not affect breeding. Asking $75 for...

This is the only D. tityus I have ever found in FL. I found him back around February outside of East Orlando. Hes been growing much quicker than all of my other D. tityus larvae. All of my other D. tityus larvae are between 16-22 grams but this big boy just pushed 27 grams not too long ago. I...

Anyone ever tried feeding fruit flavored baby food to beetles? Just wondering because it does have added nutrients. Only thing is I'm not sure if it has any ingredients that could harm the beetles.

Looking for one to breed to my female. Let me know if you have one for sale. Thanks!

Caught some interesting stuff over the last two nights. In the first photo are some Prioninae. The one in the middle is Derobrachus brevicollis and the other two are Prionus pocularis. The Second photo is of Strategus splendens and the third photo shows Strategus antaeus. S. splendens has a...

I love these little gems. I only find them in May-June when the saw palmetto flowers are in bloom. The colors are amazing. "

Mine is a dried 72 mm Dynastes granti that I have on display on my desk. I usually only collect US species although I'm looking to add a 150mm Dynastes hercules hercules or Titanus giganteus. So what is the largest beetle you own?

My Phileurus truncatus pupae started to emerge as of last night! So far three have emerged and they are one male and two females. All of the larvae I collected in the last few months are in the pupa stage now and should become adult beetles within the next few weeks.

Checked on my D. tityus larvae today and to my surprise I found one larva that became an L3. Below is a photo of the comparison between one of my L2s to the L3 grub. Its got a much larger head capsule and lots of hairs all over the body. Its like its going through puberty lol. About two weeks...

Went larvae collecting in a different area in East Central FL. I was going through an old oak stump when inside I come across my greatest find ever. A beautiful Scarlet Kingsnake!!!! I've wanted to find one of these since I was 10 and I found it while looking for beetle larvae. And it was found...

Just wanted to share with you guys this really nice specimen that was collected a few months ago here in Orlando. It was not collected by me but by my dad while he was at the hotel he works at in Disney. He said he found it crawling along the wall of the hotel under a light. This is one of my...

While hiking in Sanford, FL I came across these two beetle about 30 feet from each other. They are about the size of a quarter and have a very nice metallic blue color. Peltotrupes profundus,or Florida Deepdigger Scarab, are active in January in Florida and can dig burrows up to 10 feet...

While on a collecting trip last Friday I came across a tree stump with fecal pellets inside. As I started digging through it I pulled out 5 dead Phileurus truncatus larvae that were cold to the touch along with one barely alive larva. Temperatures that day were in the mid 50's and the night...

Cool little beetles found in the Holopaw, FL area. I have never found this species before. All were found inside of rotting oak stumps.

Just got some Pro Bio protein supplement from Kingdom of Beetle Taiwan. Anyone have any experience with this product? The instructions say to place the powder at bottom of the larva's container but I was wondering if it would be better mix it in thoroughly into the substrate. Also, does this...

Looking for larvae of Dynastes or other nice Rhino Beetles. Let me know what you would be interested in trading.

Went on another collecting trip with LarvaHunter again and found some more nice larvae. One tree had an adult female Phileurus truncatus along with 19 LARVAE!!! This is a new record for us. Never found this many P. truncatus larvae in a single cavity. Also came across another very tall rotting...

Sold some adult Lucanus elaphus to him. Transaction went fast and smoothly. Great guy to do business with and really knows his stuff about beetles.

Great guy to do business with. I traded some larvae with him for some dried beetles. Transaction went smooth and specimen arrived well. Would definitely do business with him again.
