Glorious Scarab Beetle Larva

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

Photo on this page is of an adult beetle, which your larva (immature grub-like stage sold here) will grow into. More photos at Bugguide.net where they simply and uniquely describe the identification of this beetle as “unmistakable.”

Larvae can be raised on oak flake soil 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.
