Blue death feigning beetle laying eggs - are they fertile?

[Moakmeister]

I can’t find any info about whether they’ll lay unfertilized eggs or not. I hope not, since I’m not trying to breed her, but if they are gonna hatch, then hey, maybe I’ll give it a shot at raising them.

At least now I know her sex

Making feeders?

Making feeders?

No, the beetle is a pet. She lives with my H. arizonensis. I just need to know if I need to remove the eggs and do something with them, or if I can just ignore them.

Scorps won’t eat them? Why not?

Idk, maybe she does eat them and I haven’t noticed. There’s not a ton of eggs, I can only see like four.

Asbolus verrucosus according to what I found is a member of the darkling beetle group. I just might get some when I find a supply.
