Eleodes obscura

Description

Eleodes obscura photos can be found at this link: Bugguide.net

The desert beetles measure about an inch in length but including legspan they look huge! These are the largest teneb species we offer, on average, and they are spectacular in terms of activity levels and those grooved elytra.

These beetles are super active and may be aggressive towards their tankmates. They may also try to mate with their tankmates, regardless of species. Be forewarned. It is more likely to happen when they are introduced to a new tank than in the long run and so keep an eye on them at first.

$7 each.

My desert beetle tank set up video (part 1) below reviews the care for these. Part 2 can be found on my YouTube channel.
