[@Buffaluffagus82]

The ending was my favorite. I could listen to you for hours! Please make a video of you just watching and narrating your creepy crawlys!

[@euclideszoto997]

The larva of tiger beetles are just as ferocious.

[@Thisguyiscr4zy]

Six-Spotted Tiger Beetles are super common in my area (Texas, down by Houston) once I catch one I’ll start showcasing them, and their home 😁

[@michaeldavid6284]

Yep, used to try and catch them when I was a kid in Texas. They're much quicker than the ones is this vid, and would alternate between running and flying for short distances.

[@jesssullivan9831]

Fantastic video, gorgeous beetles and really love the idea for the hides/burrow starters for them!

[@OldChannelBugRealms]

Thankyou! Let's hope they hold up

[@scienceneighbourhood]

cute little people cleaning themselves who said insects are dirty they are clean

[@TheCryptCrawler]

Hey, nice video. Could you please share the caresheet for these beetles?

[@malachimize6814]

Just letting you know they weren't immediately digging they were trying to hydrate themselves by biting the wet soil.

[@KernowArachnids]

Their tag teaming it 😮

[@OldChannelBugRealms]

😂😂

[@Hayley0412]

They are bloody awesome, I could have watched them all night! I just love watching these guys, what will you name them? They reminded me of Ronnie and reggie! I would definitely like an update! I may not be around for a while I have pneumonia so I may hospitalised for a while!

[@adamspillman8403]

Very nice reminds me when i had some ground beetle larva with those teefs lol also it could have been having a drink from the wet sand maybe instead of just digging looked that way to me keep up the good work :)

[@OldChannelBugRealms]

Your deffo right about the drinking part! Thanks for letting me know!

[@Strapplekiwi]

hows the bite from them little bugs? 😄

[@pfang100]

I just saw this video, but the video are two years old. How is the beetle? Are they still alive>

[@pjsmith2744]

Hey Sam! Great beetles!! Can I just ask where you got that jar from? It's an awesome setup!!

[@kaidenworrell7828]

Do you still own these

[@rabidtaz1306]

I think that one was drinking from the sand not digging.

[@OldChannelBugRealms]

I completely agree with u about the drinking. Thankyou!

[@okay__.]

I caught one before near florida

[@pleroma5924]

Need a good source for beetles like tigers where can I go to purchase beetle species

[@johnsexotics3937]

I had One of these order it from thepetfactory but when i got it to Sweden died after few Days Guess she took to much hits on it way but hope ill be abel buy new One soon

[@markvega5036]

Do you still have them?

[@JoJoExoCavern]

I want!! 😊

[@OldChannelBugRealms]

Tough 😂

[@SaraJean85]

I don't think they were digging.. I think they were thirsty and was drinking the water from the sand. And the 1st was trying to drink the water drops on the side I bet if u added water bowl then they would drink. Thanks for the video it was great they r beautiful

[@kevinpoe8137]

I have these in my backyard, the pan-american bigheaded tiger beetle, nevermind after further research it would appear I mistook them for their cousin lol 😂, also it’s not digging that’s how they drink

[@OldChannelBugRealms]

Hey dude. Thanks for explaining the drinking part! Makes complete sense!

[@kevinpoe8137]

Bug Realms, you’re welcome 😊

[@meghanhaiar8045]

I have those

[@reyesmaroon6181]

epic

[@baileysbugblog6478]

Not out of the realms of possibility that those could be bred in captivity bud. Tiger Beetles don't have too specific requirements, bar potential time as a larvae and maybe subtleties of the substrate...Many species have larvae that burrow a lot like Ant-Lions. Hope you or Tony have some unexpected success somewhere anyway :).

[@OldChannelBugRealms]

Thanks dude. I've been informed mine are both F but that's ok, I'm Hoping some of the others may have some males for future projects
