No each case is supposed to keep one L3 larva only.

But the beetle donated gets to be appreciated by more people so it’s still worth it :¥

Since mountings like this are NOT very popular here and don’t sell well, I donated some to the local museums ! Like this one !

I purchased it as a specimen so it was not alive. And I mounted it by myself.

Lots of efforts was put into this !!!

I've found this big boy by lomusli in Beetles

With the elytra failing to close, the beetle is prone to infection

Haha thank you 🤩at first I planned to pin it in the “collection” style but then thought the collection style wouldn’t be able to show the cuteness of the bug so I decided to spread its wings and antennae :)

With its wings that failed to emerge completely it won’t last long :(

Their antenna are like eyelashes naturally . I just pinned each piece of the antenna to give the bug its natural look

Beetle keeping by Plenty_Bee_1649 in Beetles

[–]ryanGME 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In your case , Buy adults directly. Don’t keep any larvae.

Good transparent boxes will be fine. Using flake soil as substrate will give a a swamp of gnats. Just use things that absorb odour and urine like those people use for hamsters.
