The listing is for bulk quantities of beetle larva, of a medium sized species of flower beetle that are characterised by their yellow polka-dot markings that contrast their black body. The males are also unique in that they have golden tufts of hair on the tips of their front legs.
These are CAPTIVE BRED in my collection, with this stock originating from Africa.
The adult beetles feed on a variety of fruits such as banana, apple, pear, peach and watermelon. The larvae feed on decaying wood and leaf litter.
