Description
Captive born and bred larva of the Western Hercules Beetle, Dynastes grantii. Unsexed. Shipped individually in deli cups of flake soil which should last as their food source for 2-3 weeks.
General larval care is similar to that of the Eastern Hercules Beetle, so the larval care portion of our Dynastes tityus care guide is still relevant with the main difference being the length of time the beetle spends in each life stage.
Larvae have 3 distinct larval phases, or instars, separated by molts where their head capsule will noticeably enlarge. L1 (larval phase 1) lasts roughly a month after hatching; L2 lasts 1-2 months; L3 typically lasts for 12-24 months. Included with each larva will be a “beetle birth certificate” which details important dates in your larva’s life.
