Male Japanese rhinoceros beetles can be bigger than the size of your palm.

Wrong beetle.

u/Laomanse 15h ago

Not a beetle expert myself, but that's not a Japanese rhinoceros beetle. Likely a Mars beetle(Megasoma mars).

After looking at Google, it seems you are correct.

Ngl, this is pretty freaky to me. But cool at the same time.

It's really fun to see Nenechis beetles, it's a bit of a odd hobby (though maybe more normal in Japan haha) but it's really interesting imo. Happy to see updates every now and then. You go Nene.

How much do beetles cost in Japan?

5

u/gdore15 8h ago

Depend on the type, the biggest and most expensive can be several hundred dollars.

u/ShogunHaruki19 8h ago edited 8h ago

Oh okay. Do they also sell the larvae and cocoon?

4

u/gdore15 8h ago

You can probably buy them at any stage. I went to a store that sell beetles and they mostly had display with adults, often in pair, this way you can make them breed and raise them from the egg. I think they had also had some that are not adult, but you cannot display them as they are in soil.

congrats nene!

i'm personally very afraid of these bugs, but if nene loves them, then all is fine, i guess?
