Hi

These are not that common in the hobby as they all have to be imported as WC adults. You may well be out of luck as you will need a permit to import/purchase these beetles if you live in the USA, from what I understand permits are never issued for private individuals for stuff like this.

(Happily in the UK, where permits are not needed )

lol, permits don't seem to be stopping many people from importing and selling here in the u.s., apparently

Can I get one in usa?

 

[What]

You might be able to get them, but they will still be illegal, and by posting here you do put yourself in jeopardy of being investigated by the USDA/APHIS. And by investigated I mean raided.

Im not doing anything illegal buy asking.Raid what?

 

[What]

From what I have heard the USDA/APHIS will come knocking and asking to look around even if you are just showing intent to buy.

They are just a bit touchy...
