Alex Posted May 18, 2011 Author Share Posted May 18, 2011 Thanks everyone. I have never seen one down here and now I got lucky and caught another one in a water bowl of my friend's king cobra cage!! The two are being fed honey and are kept with coco fiber and rotted bugamvilla wood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Clausen Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Hey, that's super cool! I've seen that bug in my books, but haven't encountered it before. Neat that you've found two! Is that a standard 16 ounce deli cup the beetle is in? It's always nice to have a size reference. I've suspected that beetle is rather small.

Ralph Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I saw a few of these in Wisconsin a few years ago. Good stuff! Do you know if yours are male and female? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
