Nice find Mori! Tigers are the most alien looking beetles. I have yet to take a photo of one. They are on my long list of things I need to photograph. Thanks for sharing.

I have fed them on small crickets and they do just as well.

I think all of the legs are supposed to be attatched and further more be holding the beetle up off the ground.
