    I bought beetles from someone on this page about 5-6 years ago and can't remember who it was. I just recently lost my whole colony and need to start over. Any suggestions on who to buy from??

    Ken from Kodiak Bugs and Bones. Google him. Tell him you are from this site. Clean bugs, lots of extras and he is more than willing to help with questions.

    I buy beetles off Ebay. Just type in dermestid beetles and there are a few people selling them for good prices.

    Many of those "good prices" also include free hitchhikers like ham beetles and mites. Stuff that eventually kills off what you spent your money on. Be careful of cheap bugs as there is usually a reason they are getting rid of them at that price. Read any and all reviews and complaints on a seller that you can find.
