BugmanPrice Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 This is my favorite all time rhinoceros beetle: Wow, he's a beauty. I haven’t seen one with so much of the green coloration on ‘em. Last year there was a guy I knew that had one but it was quite a bit lighter in color, I think it was D. tityus. How much does he weigh in at?

Matt K Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 ...If you include all the other beetles of the world, it's still one of the tops. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugmanPrice Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 ...If you include all the other beetles of the world, it's still one of the tops. Nice. I'd say that's one heck of a complement! Considering 1/5 of the animals are beetles. Is that a WC or CB buy the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 My favorite would have to be the native stags, but if I could ever get my hands on some other beetles I'd definitely have some new favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted December 17, 2007 Author Share Posted December 17, 2007 Is that a WC or CB buy the way? This male traces his lineage back to a female caught in 1995. Due to the way the cycles work it's hard to say what generation it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindy Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 It's funny.. I was just looking at these on your website today Peter!! I am super interested in getting a pair from you.. Just need to save some money up for them! I want those, and the blue death feigning beetles.. I think those are just the bomb! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueblooddragonz Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 i live in Morrow County and my son finds them in the woods all the time. You are right they are very difficult but for some reason I have noticed a spike in their population along with Mantids population spiking in 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpet Roaches Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'm surprised you find them so far north in Ohio. Are you sure they're not the more northerly, brown Xyloryctes rhinos he's finding? Any photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
