Hello! New subscriber here! Very nice channel! I just got my first pair of goliathus G. And I put them together and they mated for an hour then separated. Should I leave the male in with her for a couple weeks so they have more chances to mate? Thank you :)
death feigning beetles probably live the longest, (several years) but I never kept them. Out of those I kept, the rainbow stags (males) can live up to two years.
@@BeetlesAsPets Thank you very much. I would love to try taking care of beetles once in my life and I would hate/be sad to have them pass on very early.
Hey. I recently found your channel and I love your work with beetles. Ever since I was a kid and I played that one Japanese arcade game (Mushiking I think), I enjoyed seeing these mechs of nature. I was wondering, what makes it the king of beetles (for some reason people keep referring it to the king) even when it didn't have horns?
Nothing in particular, probably because the biggest specimen look really massive, even compared to hercules which are much longer because of their horns. Species goliathus regius also have similar term in their Latin name regius- royal. This could be another reason for this.
@@BeetlesAsPets yes those cocoon. I was thinking its not the beetle who made those because its so perfect shape capsule. Yes the underground larvae made those then humans dig and create the shape?
You ever tried feeding Goliath larvae other inverts? I’ve seen them go for it and drag Dubai’s or hornworms down the burrows, whenever I can find some larvae it’s definitely something to experiment with. Where do you purchase your Goliaths from by any chance or will you eventually have some larvae?
I do not normally feed their larvae with inverts, as the larvae do not always eat them. I think this is the matter of picking the right invert :) The larvae are available from time to time on the internet on European market.
I had a few years break with the species. A few months ago I obtained some larvae, and some of these are already pupated. So hopefully I will make a short video soon:)
Congratulations!! I know that there are different types. I live in the USA and am raising some larvae and they are slowing growth rate at only mid 30 gram size from initial weight of about 7 grams in late July 2020 until now mid January 2021. What’s a larval size that is likely to pupate? Some people have even up to 100 gram larvae but I assume those are the largest subspecies. I don’t know the subspecies I have or if there are more than one or even pure hobby sourced subspecies in the USA. Plus, I love you channel and should you have time maybe you could overdub any in English. I don’t think all are in English but I may have missed them.
I got a bunch of grubs in the park near my house (wood area) and they all pupated except for one grub that never burrowed, just kept 360ing on the surface. Then my chicken saw it... But all the other grubs really pushed my luck. They were all MALE and I had like 14 OF THEM.
Really cool beetles, love their colors. But I had a question about one of the comments you made in your video, I'm guessing you said it as a joke but you might have been serious. You had said the male and the female won't be mating because they're possibly family. Humans are the only species that doesn't mate with genetic family members. (Specified "genetic" because many US states have different laws about "marrying" relatives. Some allow 2nd cousins to marry without any genetic testing. Others allow 1st cousins if their genetic test results show they are compatible. So, just humans avoid inbreeding. But, thanks to modern science, cousins can test themselves to see if they can keep it in the family without producing offspring with severe genetic mutations(smh😵)
Of course they can mate. What I meant is that I will not be pairing beetles from the same offspring, because in goliathus fertility decreases drastically because of inbreeding. After 2-3 "inbreedings" you may get only about 10-20 percent of a normal number of fertile eggs. In my case I used the unrelated male to pair with that female.
@Beetles As Pets That makes perfect sense.. I used to breed ball pythons and I would specifically select say, the mothers son to breed with its mother a year or 2 later in order to strengthen a recessive trait... but even with reptiles/pythons... further down the chain of inbreeding (so 6th or 7th inbreed clutch of eggs), eggs can begin developing various issues that kill the embryos. But the most common issue from over-inbreeding with ball pythons is offspring will have permanent neurological disorders... the commonly seen disorder is a frequent head wobble side to side like it's unable to balance itself.. I didn't breed long enough to ever hatch pythons with this condition. But you will see it amongst professional breeders... FYI: the Spider ball python almost always has this problem at varying levels. But that's wild inbreeding also presents itself within the insect world. I was just reading an article from "top scientist" who researched case studies from the early 1900s to determine if animals do commonly practice inbreeding. And to see if it has any negative impact on that particular species. They claim over 75% of the animal kingdom commonly inbreed and there is NO genetic mutations from this practice. Only happens with humans... SMH
In the animal kingdom bugs and animals will not mate with their white counter parts because they want to survive so they get with what's strong enough.
This is seriously the best channel
A trick : watch series on Flixzone. Been using them for watching all kinds of movies these days.
@Alan Konnor yup, have been using Flixzone} for years myself :D
@Alan Konnor definitely, I have been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :D
I'm here from UPDT !
This is Un Poco De Todo
And My too
Tonces hablas español?
Sip
who supplied you with the male beetle?
the male clearly doesn't want to leave the Kinder surprise egg 😂
They are the worlds best kinder eggs

Thank you :)
Wow that is so damn wonderful I’m reading a book about the Ancient Egyptian Osiris Cult and these creatures are mentioned by the author .
Great beetles! In more than one way...
Those cocoons look almost like small coconuts!
This is so much better than those surprise egg channels.
Hey i have a question. Do you know which beetle has the longest lifespan?
death feigning beetles probably live the longest, (several years) but I never kept them. Out of those I kept, the rainbow stags (males) can live up to two years.

Hi! What soil do you use to let them make their cocoons eggs in?
70/30 sand /peat soil
@@BeetlesAsPets thank you
excelent video.
Thanks for sharing. The females are really pretty, they have a pretty dark coloring. ^_^
When I grow up I will take care of a Goliath beetle
Weird
Nice packaging man. How did u make those capsule shell like?
You mean cocoons made of sand and soil? Beetle larvae build these underground then turn into pupae and then into the beetles inside of such cells :)
@@BeetlesAsPets yes those cocoon. I was thinking its not the beetle who made those because its so perfect shape capsule. Yes the underground larvae made those then humans dig and create the shape?
@@riccia888 No the larvae make them, they ingest the substrate then create the cells, shape and all. :)
I recently got a Goliathus Goliathus larvae L2 can give me tips on how to raise it pls teach me I really want a adult
www.naturalworlds.org/goliathus/manual/Goliathus_breeding_1.htm it has everything you need :)
How did your larvae end up doing?
Can it unhatch by itself?
It normally can. However, sometimes the dried up cells can be too hard for some weaker beetles to brake.
Do you ever sell larvae?
All the time, depending on the availability, contact in the description of some videos.
Goliathus larvae will be available some time in winter -spring.
Oh okay. Dope.
facinating!

At the end...CHOMP!
Lol these are awesome!
How do these grow theres a bunch out of nowhere in my backyard
Awesome stuff :)
This species is so cool. Hope I can rear some one day
Where can i buy them?!??!?!
So beautiful
Congratulations on 5000 subscribers! I think I was 4999 haha
such beautiful beetles, I wish there was a care guide!
There is one! I used it when I was starting with goliathus! www.naturalworlds.org/goliathus/manual/Goliathus_breeding_1.htm
@@BeetlesAsPets thank you do much!
Can this beetle hurt you? I know most beetles are unable to bite
Amazing! How do you get golden color on these? Saw another video of yours and the gold colored one looked fascinating!
Those are different species, goliathis orientalis preissi. Some of them look golden or silvery when they just emerge.
Nice beetle
Hi, I love your channel! When will you make a video about Cyclommatus metallifer? Thank you!
I had a few years break with the species. A few months ago I obtained some larvae, and some of these are already pupated. So hopefully I will make a short video soon:)
@@BeetlesAsPets thank you so much!!
Hercules and titan beetle: hey what about me
Thank You
Omg what a giant beetle😆
Dynastes Hercules: excuse me... I am also the king of the beetles
true
The real hatchimals
nice beetles!
Congratulations!!

Plus, I love you channel and should you have time maybe you could overdub any in English. I don’t think all are in English but I may have missed them.
Can I ask where you bought your beetles from? I cant find them in the US
Beautiful 😍
I got a bunch of grubs in the park near my house (wood area) and they all pupated except for one grub that never burrowed, just kept 360ing on the surface. Then my chicken saw it... But all the other grubs really pushed my luck. They were all MALE and I had like 14 OF THEM.
what kind of beetles?
@@BeetlesAsPets They looked like yours, but lot smaller. maybe an inch at the most.
@@Pies. where do you live?
@@BeetlesAsPets oh well... ok this is the ONLY person wH0 kN0wZ aB0uT mE!! you are lucky. ok so... sydney
austrailia
Any for sale
Hi dude, sry to bother you but i would like to buy some beetles can you send them to Germany live?!And I would like to pay with euros!
contact email in video description for more info :)
@@BeetlesAsPets thx i did :D but the question its will they arrive alive!
Is this the only species of beetle that encases itself it delicious chocolate eggs?
Probably most of the flower beetles build similar "cocoons"
@@BeetlesAsPets Woah, cool! Honestly I wasn't expecting an answer to my stupid question. Thank you! :D
Only 1 complaint.
The same 8 seconds of music looped over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
:)
the king cobra of the beetle !
Wish they lived longer

you have facebook ?
because I can make you a banner for the channel totally free
Thank you! However, I just checked and it seems that I already have a banner :)
ok no problem : )
He do he unboxing them bugs like a toy from Amazon 🤯
I would like to buy some larvae, do you ship to Mexico?
Hi, I do not think that shipping to Mexico is a good idea- long time in transit, strict customs etc :(

You have to call the male hannibal. Because thats what i'd do if i had a male with his colouration XD
cute!
The white ones are really rare
