ya it is kind of too bad they stay as grubs so long, moreso because they are often hidden. but ehre are species that stay in soil and such rather than wood. check out carnivorous beetles liek teh tigers.
i have been keeping both adult beetles and grubs of dorcus titanus for 6.5 months now and jsu thad my first mortality yesterday. these are supposed to live around a year and die in winter, but in captivity i have *heard* they can live longer. also keeping some Protaetia species whcih are pretty cool little beetles. but they have prooved to be short lived as beetles but fun to watch. eat fruit, have sex, little more fruit, little more sex, die.
i kept some kind of carabid beetles (i think) from BC. red and black. if you can deal with feeding dead things (these suckers ate dead mice) they are pretty cool. 2 of them lived 14 months with little more care than throwing in uneaten mice from snakes on a dirt substrate.
