Hey! Ty for rb'ing the beetle post. Since writing it I've heard and experimented for myself to find they LOVE plain, dry oats. Absolutely the most cost effective food if you wanna get your own. They do drag them everywhere around the tank, though lol. If you get some for yourself I hope you enjoy them!! They're so fun
yea of course!! it's a great guide :D and ooh that's great, i'll look into that! whenever i end up getting some i want to spoil them haha. thank you!
do you think a 5.5gal tank (more room horizontally than vertically) would suffice for 2-3 of these beetles? :o

OG Bradford, the death feigning beetle, died today, Deer (my roommate) found him in my mom's house 4 years ago and keep him as a pet. RIP my favorite little dude, you helped teach me that bugs are cute, cool and worth having around! May ur next journey be filled with tasty radishes

Blue Death Feigning Beetle
A death feigning beetle sketched in black ink and gray markers I got some of these guys a while back. They’re impressively low maintenance and entertaining pets, as insects go. As their name implies, they immediately give up and pretend to be dead when disturbed. I generally avoid triggering it, although unlike some other species it doesn’t seem to be a particularly taxing experience for them.…

5th batch of bug doodle commissions DONE
i'll probably raise the price to $5 per doodle soon because i keep accidentally putting more work into these than i'm supposed to but in the meantime you can still throw any multiple of $4 at my ko-fi to get that many bug doodles in return

Asbolus! I honestly think I prefer taking pictures in their tank than putting them in the light box tho.

Whats the best way to check the gender of blue death feigning beetles without stressing them out?
If you can get a good look at them in bright light without picking them up, checking out their antennae would be the easiest way. Not the end of the world if you do need to pick them up to see them better, though.

I’m glad you guys like Poptart! You guys are lucky my beetles are all typical colored for their species otherwise I’d spam you with pics of them too.
Anyone have any fun pics of their interesting colored/patterned/etc pets for me to look at? Even ‘normal’ types are interesting!
