🔸️Prosopocoilus hasterti moinieri🔸️ Family: Lucanidae (Stag Beetle Family) Distribution: Primarily found in the Solomon Islands, this subspecies typically inhabits dense forests at low to medium altitudes, where high humidity provides an ideal environment for its survival. Physical Features: Prosopocoilus hasterti moinieri is renowned for its distinctive mandibles and striking body coloration. The body exhibits a shiny orange to black hue, with some individuals displaying faint, darker stripe-like patterns or spots on the pronotum (thorax) and elytra (wing covers). These features vary between individuals. The male's mandibles feature sharp inner teeth, used for territorial battles, while females are smaller with more compact mandibles. Size: Males: 40–80 mm Females: 25–40 mm Behavior: Males are territorial and often engage in fights for mating rights. This species is nocturnal, with feeding and mating typically occurring at night. Care and Breeding: Habitat: Provide a spacious, well-ventilated enclosure filled with a substrate made of decayed wood and leaf litter, as they prefer soft, moist environments. Humidity and Temperature: Maintain humidity at 70–80% and temperature at 22–28°C (72–82°F) Diet: Feed them beetle jelly, ripe fruits (e.g., bananas, apples), or sugar water. Breeding: Place males and females together in a breeding tank containing decayed wood for egg-laying. After the female lays eggs, separate her to avoid disturbance. The eggs hatch into larvae, which feed on wood flakes or Karawatake kinshi (fungus wood). The larvae go through three instars before pupating. Notes: Avoid excessively dry conditions, as they can harm both larvae and adults. Overcrowding males may lead to injuries from fighting.

Changing jelly twice a week for soo many beetles is always lots of work.😥 Hurry up and take some away from me.🤣 #beetlesaga #beetle #rhinobeetle #stagbeetle #entomology #exoticbeetles #naturelovers #insects

Reviewing Beetle Saga's new kinshi that has been released for almost 2 months.🔍📖 Good kinshi can largely impact the growth of larvae. Having good kinshi has made rearing large size beetles a lot easier for us and our customers.🥰 Hurry up and go to our website to order our kinshi for your stag beetle larvae‼️ #beetle #bug #insects #beetlesaga #stagbeetle #rhinobeetle #entomology #naturelovers #beetlelover

Dynastes Tityus Also called the Eastern Hercules. From head to tail, these beetles shine in golden hues with unique spots and patterns. Their lifespan is longer compared to other beetles, almost a year, and their non-picky eating habits make them favorites among keepers, providing long-term enjoyment.🪲 #Beetle #easternherculesbeetle #rhinobeetle #beetlesaga

How do we take care of a beetle that just emerged and is still dormant? 1️⃣ Beetles that just emerged are very fragile. Their exoskeleton has not yet hardened and can be harmed very easily. 2️⃣ It is very important to choose a very soft and delicate substrate for them. 3️⃣ Always keep the environment moisturized. 4️⃣ DO NOT put any beetle jelly when they're still dormant. Even though they are likely not to eat it, there's still a chance for them to eat it and mess up their viscera. What are some other things we need to be careful about when handling a beetle that just emerged? #beetle #stagbeetle #Giraffastagbeetle #PGK #beetlesaga

Most beetles can't live for a long time, but there are ways to keep them living for longer than usual. 1. Beetle Jelly - Always giving them new jelly when they're out is more important than you think. You never want a hungry beetle in your house! 2. Clean Substrate - Like every other animal. Having a clean and nice environment is also important for your beetle. #Beetle #stagbeetle #beetlejelly #rhinobeetle #pgk #beetlesaga
