A note on trades

Any exchange of livestock must follow the import and wildlife regulations that apply to both parties. When in doubt, don't — and always ask for the legal paperwork.

Quick answers

Before you write

Do you sell beetles?

This is a private collection rather than a business. Occasionally there's surplus captive-bred stock to trade or pass on to other hobbyists, but there's no shop and no stock list.

Can you identify a beetle from my photo?

Often, yes — send a clear, well-lit photo and any notes on where it was found. Identification is best-effort and not a substitute for an expert entomologist.

I'm new — where should I start?

Read the care guide first, then the species profiles. If you still have questions after that, the form above is the place.
