Glorious Scarab Beetle Larva

This listing is for a single larva (immature) glorious scarab beetle, Chrysina gloriosa.

L2/L3 larvae available unsexed at $16 each. These are captive-bred by us in the summer of 2025 and now available in the fall and winter months.

Larvae can be raised on oak flake soil (see related products below) and then successfully pupated without clay, but more and more successful keepers are using it to line the bottom inch or so of the enclosure later as the larvae approach metamorphosis/pupation. Contact me if you want to purchase clay. I’ve not managed to get it up on the site yet, for some reason.

Photo on this page is of an adult beetle, which your larva purchased through this listing will grow into. More photos at Bugguide.net where they simply and uniquely describe the identification of this beetle as “unmistakable.”
