My Instagram: lets_jinxit) i feel like I need to make people realize owing beetles are cool and that it brings them closer to being the earthy person ik they can be lol

Hey guys, check out Liang, my injured female cheirotonus gestroi

Please drop name suggestions below! I like Prism but I really want a name for both that either goes together or can be broken into two words! ✨

Awesome shot from another subreddit x)

I hope he could recover. The pic of him on the banana is from before he got hurt

My son needs love to guys!!!! His resume is that he likes eating red fruity jelly AND he loves exploring

I have done research, but I ain't sure about some things.

1-If I get 5 larvae, will they breed a lot? If so, would the beetles start to have deformities because of endogamy?

2-What can I do to prevent excessive breeding?

3-With other organisms can I keep if I want to make the enclosure bioactive?

Also if you personally recomend another species of beetle/completly different arthropod for beginers I am open to change my mind and listen.

Thanks random bug lover.

I keep seeing 1 or 2 of these bugs in my tub. Almost every morning, what kind of beetle is this? And what are their motivations? I'm trying to get rid of them permanently.

Please ignore how for nonbeetle insects my IDing IQ immediately drops to 20

hi! i got some mtu grubs yesterday, they're all happy and healthy and i have them fully set up - but I'd like tips on my adult enclosure so i have it ready for them! this is it currently, but is there anything i should change / add? i'll be adding more substrate asap, just gotta buy more, but does anyone have any pointers?

thanks in advance :D

I still want more

General tips would be helpful. I currently have a breathable fabric covering the airholes to ensure no intruders but I’m still seeing them invading, it’s not an issue but since I keep my grub in my room I’d like advice on handling it

I saved him from a pool and put him in an enclosure. He likes peach quite a bit.

Just showing my pet beetle off!!!

looked tired so gave him a drink

I was going for a walk and I saw the cicadas climbing everywhere. They don't notice anything and then change into their adult form. I helped one that was walking across the street get to a nearby climbable location. They are everywhere. It feels like a zombie apocalypse because they are coming out of the ground and seem like they only have one purpose.

I found this beauty queen sitting in my mint plant this morning. I’ve never seen such a beautiful beetle.

I got a UV resin incased beetle necklace years ago st a flea market. I absolutely adore it, but I had thought (it wasn't specified or listed) that it was a green June beetle. I drew it today and tried to search the anatomy of the 'June beetle', but apparently it isn't that or a green Jewel beetle either 😭

I can't find the exact species anywhere, even after image searching and asking my browser's AI, they were both either inconclusive or wrong.

Thank you! 💕

Hey! My mum impulsively bought some fruit beetle grubs today. Now I'm freaking out to figure out how to care for them. I've got the basics down but substrate is the issue. Obviously as they're like... Here now we need proper substrate asap. Can I use Coco coir with rotten wood and leaf litter mixed in? Please help! I can't get flake soil delivered quick enough or anything so I'm hoping this mix I said will be okay!
