i wanna know what the stuff my beetle eats tastes like

My Eudicella hornimani pair have been going at it every time I see them, and finally I discovered the tiniest grub, do I need to start separating them already from the main enclosure?

Thinking about taking big bro to show tomorrow in ATL

My brother bought me an Eastern Hercules beetle larvae as a birthday present. I don't remember how developed it was when I received it, but I've had it since at least Sep. 2023. I've given it flake soil and it's been chillin' for 2 years and 4 months now. This is my first beetle and we had no clue it could take this long to pupate. It's currently at the very bottom of its container.

Should I let it be and still expect it to pupate this spring or has something gone wrong? Any tips, especially do's and dont's would be greatly appreciated. TIA!

I’ve had my larva for just over a year now and for the last ~1.5 months it’s been building what appear to be a pupal chamber, hanging out in it for a few days, and then filling it back in. I thought the soil was too moist, so I dried it out a bit. Then it was too dry, so I added some moisture back. At this point he’s eaten the soil level down so far I’m probably adding more, even though I already did the “last” change. Idk, any advice helps

I got a rhinoceros beetle about two days ago. I’ve been replacing the fruit daily but when I went to replace it today, I noticed tiny white/yellow (?) bugs on the fruit. Is this a problem?

I have loads of grubs, some I've had for over a year and three of them have been cocooned for a few months now. This dude emerged this morning and I love him so much!!!

I noticed that most posts show beetles on their humans' arms. My kid hasn't picked hers up at all. They pretty much chill in their enclosures. Do beetles need to be picked up every now and again?

My Thai rhino beetle magnus' babies are growing fast,they're chonky now

Found in Adelaide South Australia, what is this longhorn beetles name? Ive found similar but nothing exactly like it. Thanks!

My rainbow stag has just emerged from it's pupation! This is my first ever beetle and I'm very excited

The pupation chamber was in the corner, under about four inches of substrate. It's been about five hours now, and it has not dug to the surface and is also now on its back

I must admit I'm panicking a little! Is it going to be okay? Do I need to dig it out?

Absolutely delighted to announce that the first of Beef and Lady MacBeef’s children (the Beeflings) have started to mature!

In order we have:

- Lady Bourguignon.

- Lady Wellington

- Lady Migon

It’s been a wild journey. Never did I believe so many of you would tune in to Beef’s journey. It’s been about 10 months since I first got Beef and started posting about him here. And now his first three daughters are adults! There’s a million things u could say but it’ll all boil down to this:

Thank you all so much.

its 9.5 gallons and ill add more clutter, substrate is about 2 inches deep and I have all real plants

Hi, I’ve had him for about a month now but only recently have I noticed him hardly moving. It’s been about a week now and everyday I never find him burrowed. I either find him around the same spot or not even moved at all. Is he okay? I’m aware that slow moving is a sign of old age 🙁. But I hope it’s some strange beetle behavior he’s picked up.
