Biggest darkling beetle looking thing EVER.
Seriously, search for images of Titanus giganteus.
In other news, ALL of my mealies save one has turned into adults. I kinda sort of maybe forgot about them.. and when I tossed some baby carrots in the bin, they swarmed it. It looks like it was a beetle roll, not a baby carrot, lol.
In another couple weeks, I'm going to move all the beetles into a new box, and let that box grow up any mealies that may be in them. and then I'll move them again in another couple weeks, to have several bins growing at different stages.
I still don't have my land, not do I have my chickens, and try as I may, I have yet to be able to convince my dogs to eat them.... So likely they will end up as gifts for two of my friends, one of which has a bearded dragon and a box turtle. My other friend has, or had crested geckos. I'll have to ask him.
In any case the growing of the beetles has been a lot of fun so far, and I can't wait until I have my own space where I can seriously expand operations, lol.
