Part of the fun of raising from larvae, though I'm not gonna suger coat it, it takes lots of patience.
Hope you feel the same type of joy with your larvae.

I got to take these lorge beetles out for a photo shoot Once. Finally showing them off so they won't be relegated to the externals of my storage drive forever, collecting cyberdust. Hope you enjoy!

Sigh... had them together for about 5 days, but in that time, the male was able to bite through the straw and kill the female. But yeah, with all the mandible tying reels, it does help to see what could happen if they aren't restrained or restrained correctly. I'll try to be more careful when tying the mandibles of these bigger aggressive beetles.

With this method of breeding, I would recommend keeping the pair together for about 3-5 days. Keeping these beetles together for too long can result in one killing the other. Even females could kill the male.

Going over the answer from the 2nd quiz. These are the differences between DHB, and DHH that I am aware of. They are very similar, so it may be difficult to tell the difference from other angles. Also, why it is important to label your beetles containers so you don't mix up these similar subspecies.

Female Megasoma Gyas pupa. They have begun to pupate. It's been a long wait, but I'm excited to see how they turn out.

What else are they for?

Hope you have a happy Valentines day!

Awhile ago I made a pop quiz post asking if people could tell the difference between a female Rainbow stag and a small minor Rainbow stag.

Thought I should go over the difference for people who wouldn't know the differences.

So apparently I need to film myself doing this everytime now.

Mandible tying for Odontolabis Burmeisteri so he doesn't attack the female when they are placed in the breeding bin togather. I found it to be quite difficult with this medium tooth burmeisteri. One of my favorite species though.

Larvae raising tip!

You can use many containers for keeping beetle larvae. Of course, we also sell our own containers with flake as larvae kits you can purchase.

Otherwise:
Daiso often has lot's of containers of various sizes, if you have one nearby, take a look!

To go soup deli cups work well to, unfortunately they are usually not very transparent, and are usually are 32oz at the biggest. But they are cheap, and can stack!

Jars! You can reuse jars from various product. Jars are good for their transparency.

And finally, bug boxes. They come in various sizes, are usually rectangular shaped, and are transparent. But they can be pricier, and tend to have too much ventilation, needing a seperate cover.

In general, what you want to look for in a larvae container are

Transparency
Stackable
Different sizes
Limited ventilation 3-6 small holes
And cheap

A container with all these aspects can be hard to come by, but all the options listed above are viable.

Remember to add objects to your beetles' enclosure to help them pick themselves back up. Especially beetles that have lost some of their tarsal/claws.

It's not inherently bad for a beetle to be on their back. But they can exhaust themselves trying to pick themselves back up, which could result in their death 😧
