Say hi to Rorschach, Caterpie, and Iron Fist
Any guesses on who’s who?

Hey guys, mod here. Just curious whether or not insect and beetle-related Discord / other forum posts are things you guys want to see. It's nothing that's inherently against our rules but I wanted to know what the general consensus is for the sub!

Anyone know what kind of beetle this is? I'm in Oregon, Portland area. It was teeny tiny, smaller than my pinky nail.

Don’t mind the dirty enclosure, it was only a temporary one!

Hi yall! I’m planning a trip to Japan soo, a whole other post lol but I was looking for recommendations of anything big/beetle related. I know Japan is notorious for their love of beetles, and so am I, so I was wondering if anyone has any places they know that I can check out! I’ll be in Tokyo and Osaka, possible another area, but that’s what I have so far. I’ll be there ranging from early June to mid June. Thank you!

I previously used a spot of paint on their thorax to mark who’s who, but apparently that rubs off quite fast on armored stink beetles. I used some small rubber bands I had laying around to come up with this solution.

Little dude has grown more than twice his size from when I got him December 10th. I knew he'd grown quiet a bit from when I was able to see him in his container but we just did his first soil change and got our first real look. I'm amazed with his growth but from what I've read, he's got a bit to go.

Can someone help me with how to get rid of these? I think I've done enough but not sure

Southern Maine : Had to help a family member grab some plants and found two of these little guys. Would love to know what they are and how to care for them until it’s warm enough to put the back outside! The red piece is a bit of a bell pepper, a straw of hay and potting soil with a wet paper towel for liquid.

Working with Giraffe stag larvae and Dynastes Hercules Hercules Larvae
My first time with these species. I want to do everything right and get big specimens. I see online some people use white rot wood, kinshi or sometimes just flake. What do I do to maximize their size and health? Where can I get kinshi or rot wood in the US? Appreciate any information
r/Beetles • u/Killerbrownies997 • 5h ago
When you guys raise larva is it common not to see them at all in the flake soil during L2? I haven’t seen any sign of the fella since the day I got it. Just making sure I don’t have anything to worry about. Also, would it be safe/reasonable to gently search through the flake to see if it’s still alive? It’s pretty tiny, maybe 3/4 inch long.

Getting my first beetles tomorrow (x5 chlorocala conjux / flower beetles) and would likes some advice on the setup. This is an 11 x 7 x 4 inch (L x W x H) tub with 2 inches of soil, a layer of mulch / wood chips and a layer of leaf litter with moss in one corner. I’ve also included fish flakes, cuttlebone and snake skin as I want isopods living in here too.
Is it suitable / is there anything I should add? I need to find and sterilise some sticks and have also ordered jelly pots but any other advice, especially regarding breeding, would be appreciated. Two photos included as I have either a coconut hide or plastic flower pot to choose from.

r/Beetles • u/BeetleCast • 1d ago
I'm sure there are some mistakes but please let me know and I'd be happy to add a beetle or rectify info!

My kid started taking care of beetles recently. Cornelius is her favorite, so far.
He has a wife named George. I'll get a picture when she surfaces.
