Hey guys. I went out looking for critters today and found this grub. I believe its a stag beetle larva. Wondering if anyone has kept one of these thru its change into a beetle. Also looking for any tips or info on care. I've got it in a sterilite container with moist soil substrate and plenty of leaf litter and decomposing wood pieces. Thanks for looking! Also, are those millipedes in the photo mating? grub1.jpg

Elytra and Antenna has a great book out on raising stag beetles. Orin also has another comprehensive pet beetle book coming out any day now that I'm personally very excited about.

The millipedes may be a breeding pair, but appear simply to be piggy-backin' a 'lil bit in your photo.
