They will be sold on Jamesbeetlefarm in a few months since from what ik, his stock is all late L3 and close to pupation. However, this species do not live long as adults, and there are other beetles that are similarly impressive but lives longer available on his website and others. If you’d like, you can check out Coleoptera Corner discord server on my profile and get access to many vendors and offers etc
Do you have suggestions on beetles that live longer by chance? We are just starting to look into them.
Thank you I will check out the site and the discord.
Fascinating. Do we know the purpose(s) for such long front limbs?
apparently sexual selection similar to horn beetles
Looks like these beetles like ‘em leggy.

What are the fuzzy bits on their mid and hind legs? Just substrate material that stuck to them?
Just the wet tissue they came in, ripped by their tarsi
That's what I figured, but wasn't sure.
Thank you for sharing!
All the girls call him Stretch.
Those are insane! So cool
Fantastic
They are magnificent.
It reminds me of those long tipped boots people wear in Mexico and Texas.
Can they do any cool tricks with those things?
Crushing it with the colloquial name of this guy.
My son saw these and fell in love. What kind of care do they need and where can they be found?

I definitely recommend Dynastes Hercules Hercules or stag beetles in the Dorcus genus for longevity and impressiveness
Can I have one :3
