I found several of these beetles on a vacation, i looked all over the net what to feed the adults but no info. the only info i found was on feeding the grubs, what i have is full sized adults. i also have no idea how to sex them. im really interested in keeping them. if i cant get any info on them id like to find someone that would possibly wanna do a trade for them. thier verrrry cool. heres a link on what they are http://bugguide.net/node/view/130247/bgimage

Do the adults eat? I know some species that have the same life cycle breed when adults and die off.

Looks alot like the longhorns that feed on Opuntia cactus leaves....
