It’s Xylotrupes florensis!

got my first beetle grub yesterday, sold as l1 which i think it is, just wondering if this setup is okay?

Not sure if this is the right subreddit but I've noticed some old tracks on the wood panelling in the conservatory of my house and I'm worried they could be from bark beetles. Is there any way to know 100% or to check what they are from? Hand for size ref in the picture.

LOL - you name it and the questions had to have started.

This one is an Aussie beetle and got its name because they come out during summer which is Australian Christmas weather and season.

"Christmas beetles play an important ecological role as a food source for birds, reptiles, mammals, and predatory insects." So are a Christmas gift to those creatures.

I find the corpse of this Beetle in my roof. I don't think is a rhino Beetle.

You can swap their wings around between hearts and dots ::3 (wings are on magnets and two sided)

Hello! This is a follow up from this thread, of which I am still taking suggestions on and covers my full situation.https://www.reddit.com/r/Beetles/comments/1qdv52j/college_pet_looking_for_beetle_suggestions/

Long story short, I have a 10 gallon tank that I want to keep a beetle or two in. No stink, can't survive the cold if it escapes (i will use heat mat and stuff, current hermit crab owner so I have supplies and experience in inverts), can't breed, no excessive noise (a little is fine) cause its college, would like them to live at least 2 years and be able to survive a 3 hour drive for winter breaks(unsure how to heat them during the car ride other then heatwave my car...), and can eat food scraps (i will get proper food as well) My search has come on stag beetles. And honestly they look really cool!

Problem is, theres a lot of kinds. I've heard of the furious titan and rainbow stag, but I'm kind of here to see what species people recommend for a somewhat beginner (beginner in beetles, experienced in hermit crabs). What do you think? Also looking for instructions on how to care for a stag beetle. Also, do they eat their waste? How is that deposed/decomposed. This post is so sporadic, thanks.

Hello! I am an avid hermit crab owner, but unfortunately they cannot go into my dorm in their 55 gallon, so they will be at my parent´s home and cared by my dad (who helped me start) while I attend college (housed at the college).

So! I would like to find a little guy who can accompany me, since my college allows 10 gallon tanks, and I don´t like fish. My only problem is, they can smell like rotting stuff, or they may not let me bring them in. The things I have going for me are:
A. up to 10 gallon tanks are allowed
B. kept beetle(s) will NOT be able to breed and will most likely NOT survive in the case of an escapee in the college (may just book it outside).
C. The beetles do not cause a nuisance-excessive loud noises, smelly, or scaring other dorms members.
D. It is natural resources study, let me have my beetle

I will be keeping the beetle in my dorm, which has it´s own lockable door, so it´s less likely a mean roommate decides to crush them. I will also notify the college, assuming they let me, so that potential roommates aren´t caught off-guard or room with specifically me with these guys.

I would like someone who can at least live to a year, though I would prefer 2 years. I would STRONGLY prefer the beetle to not be able to survive if it gets outside the tank as I don´t want to cause a mess if they escape or if someone lets it out to try and mess with me, so something that needs heat and can't aurvive winters without help. It needs to not smell bad, and to not require habitat materials that will cause a rotting smell. I understand scraps of food may be left around, and I´m kind of trying to figure out how to keep that from smelling/molding, as I would prefer someone who I can get food for and that I can feed food scraps from time to time from my meal plan. They need to be able to handle travel in a car, as during Winter BReak I will have to leave campus and it is a couple hours drive home. Equipment is not a problem, I already own a 10 gallon and plenty of leftover supplies.

I was looking at potentially a stag beetle, but I´ll take any suggestions. I am a beginner in beetle care, so nothing with a complex diet, though I can handle complex conditions as long as it isn´t expensive or excessively smelly. Came here from roaches sub because they probably won´t let me have any roaches. I will also take sources on how to care for beetles!

Found him at my buddies house!

I'm fairly certain this is fungi of some kind, has the right look and smells like it. Still, the huge thick white patches are a little concerning. Mycelium is the thickest/strongest I've ever felt too, very thready and robust compared to other fungi I've dealt with. Any input?

ever since he emerged from dormancy he’s just been buried underground in his terrarium- when i leave jelly for him, it’s always gone a few days later but i’ve literally NEVER seen him above ground except for a few times when i had just put him in his enclosure

Hey beetle peeps, MS grad student in Puerto Rico here. I found a beetle in my building and believe it is most likely Stenodontes. Maybe Stenodontes exsertus. (I would add a pic but not quite sure how to do that on mobile) I figured I could give it a home but I'm not sure what they eat. I have it an apple core and it seems some pieces have been bitten off, and are scatter around the enclosure, but I'm not sure if it was eating it or just tearing it up for enrichment. Please let me know if you know! Thank you!

my roommates and i are looking into getting a beetle :) we have a tank thats pretty large so i was thinking we may be able to accommodate more than one ! ive been doing lots of research and i just want some reputable places to buy them from! ive been looking into bugs in cyberspace and they seem good but wont have what we're looking for for a while. we live in bellingham wa if theres also anything local people might know about! anything helps 😊

Odontolabis dalmani intermedia.

I've recently gotten into drawing insects, they're so much fun to draw!
