Second generation of Rainbow Stag Beetles are starting to eclose! This female's exoskeleton is still fresh and soft, looking forward to watching her colors come in as it hardens.

Beetle Pupae really are something special. The form of the developing rainbow stag inside this one is so clearly visible. Mandibles, eyes, and even little legs tucked in.

While she and her sisters wait within their pupal chambers. I eagerly await to see what color they will be upon eclosion.

A quick check of my records revealed her eclosion date to be 2/23/25. Which means that a month from now she'll be a year old.

Pupation will come soon for this little grub. The body has begun to flatten out and shorten. It is listless- moving only if disturbed. Just beneath the grub's skin, the pupa is already forming.

The #rainbowstagbeetle larvae have been growing steadily. 6 months ago this grub would have easily fit on top of my thumbnail. In another 6 months, they will begin their transformation into a beetle.

What can happen is a tiny larva can burrow inside a larger chunk of wood, and its difficult to monitor the animal's growth and health should it do so.

In green/purple mix Rainbow Stag Beetles, just a bit of blue can be made out at certain angles. I wonder if this trait will carry over to their offspring?

Stag Beetles like this female Rainbow Stag here eat with their feathery tongues. In the wild they'll eat sap flows, and fermenting fruit.

The Rainbow Stag Larvae are starting to outgrow their current deli cups- i'll need to set them up with taller ones soon.

Female Rainbow Stag Beetle - Purple Morph
This lovely lady is one of the three females I acquired from still_buggin earlier in the summer, and I plan on pairing her with my male as soon the other two are done with the breeding bin.

Look at that! The Rainbow Stag larvae are continuing to quickly grow.
It won't be too long before temperatures cool, and then they'll be ready to ✈️

Did you know that Northeast Bugs & Beasts has a Morphmarket?

Rainbow Stag Beetle
This gorgeous boy right here was paired with a female for breeding back in may.
Expect a post about larvae seeking new homes in the future!

A yellow and brown beetle (Alien sun beetle - Pachnoda marginata peregrina) is munching on some rotting banana
I found some good news in my #beetle colony: #grubs! This is the first big success in my beetle keeping and I’m excited to see more beetles emerging and growing the colony in the future. (Alien sun beetle - Pachnoda marginata) (Shot 10-26-24) 🪲 #invert #photography #insect #bugsky #beetlekeeping
