Western Rhino Beetle Trio

Description

The Western Rhino Beetle is Xyloryctes thestalus and here we offer trios for $25. A trio consists of 2 females and 1 male. This is your chance to keep adult rhino beetles without having to raise them from larvae. We offer them here as a novelty for beetle keepers that would like to see the species. It is very difficult to get eggs from these and so keep that in mind. This isn’t a species you can count on reproducing, for that reason.

Males look like a black version of the cartoon beetle named Dim, from the movie “A Bug’s Life.”
