Where’s a good source to buy stag beetles from?

[sierraluck00]

I am interested in buying an adult stag beetle (dorcus alcides), but I am not sure if there is a website or someone who sells/breeds them.

Given that this is a Southeast Asian species, it's illegal to sell in the US.

Thank you, I didn’t know that

Yes. I suggest starting with a species like Dynastes tityus. Breeds easy, and larvae are easy to care for.
