Hercules beetle grubs - Dynastes tityus Tulsa Zoo, Tulsa County, Oklahoma, USA November 21, 2003
I didn't see any good photos of baby hercules beetles, so I figured this was a good time to add one. These were uncovered during the construction of the zoo's new vet hospital. By the time someone came to tell me they were being unearthed, a member of the construction crew had already claimed most of them to feed to his fish at home. I set these up so they could finish growing and they all emerged as lovely adult beetles several months later.
