Derbies are short lived, active, African flower beetles. they make for a great introduction to beetle keeping for those who want to dip their toes or those who want to jump into keeping groups of colorful and active beetles.
Ideal for first time pet owners, much easier to keep than fish, they can feed on beetle jelly or fresh fruit and don’t require heavy fragile tanks or water changes.
These beetles can be kept in groups though it should be kept in mind that males will pester the females when kept together.

Do Not Release!! These beetles are capable flyers and should not be brought outside.
This listing is for sexed adult derby beetles.
