on my journey to find the right pet invertebrate for me, i stumbled across bombardier beetles. i wanted to make a colony of them, where they lay eggs in the soil and create a sustainable community. i have a nice big 75 gallon tank, i would put a cleanup crew, plenty of wood and stuff to hide in, and even some live plants in there. but other than those things, what are the basics of keeping them? i still need to know things like feeding, breeding, what substrate they like most, etc. if anyone who is knowledgeable on them could give input, that would be great! thanks!

Bombardier beetles are parasitoids of other beetles, so the first step would be establishing a colony of the host.

So called Bombardier beetle named for their ability to Blast a Hot Noxious Chemical Spray with a Pop in Self Defence.
