hisserman Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Dermestes ater or lardarius, but I'll take anything. I"m either culturing them by themselves or putting them in my feeder bins..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 My pet shops don't have them, they don't even breed feeders- just order them Chain stores and stores that just order them will get them in with the crickets. The suppliers who send them the crickets have them in there to eat dead crickets. I've found them in Petco/Petsmart cricket bins. Dermestes ater or lardarius, but I'll take anything. Dermestes ater are pretty big but they really... REALLY enjoy flying. When I had lardarius they flew occasionally but not nearly as much as ater. I've never seen my D. maculatus fly. Ever.

Zephyr Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 D. maculatus sounds awesome! From the top they aren't as pretty as lardarius but they are bright white underneath. I'd say they're equally beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
