Derby's Flower Beetle Larvae | Dicronorhina derbyana

At a Glance

Origin & natural habitat Eastern and southern Africa; the exact subspecies of this stock should be confirmed.
Adult size 4–7 cm
Lifespan 1–2 years
Activity Larvae remain in their rearing substrate; the adult beetles are active by day.
Social needs House individually.

Housing & Setup

Enclosure dimensions below are length × depth × height.

Larval housing Use a ventilated rearing container with enough food substrate for the larva to feed, grow and form its pupation chamber. Confirm the container volume for the current larval stage at collection.
Enclosure type Ventilated rearing container with nutritious species-appropriate larval substrate.
Temperature Day: 24–28°C Night: 20–24°C
Lighting & UVB Normal day/night cycle; no specialist UVB is required.
Humidity / moisture 65–75%
Substrate Suitable decomposed hardwood/leaf-based or prepared beetle larval substrate, selected for the exact species. Plain coconut coir is not a complete food substrate.
Furnishings Edible rearing substrate; leave space for a stable pupation chamber.

Behaviour & Compatibility

Keep handling minimal and avoid disturbing the substrate once pupation begins. Confirm whether this species and stage should be housed individually.

Feeding & Nutrition

The larva feeds within its nutritious rearing substrate. Use the species-appropriate decomposed leaf/wood or prepared beetle substrate and replenish it as required, retaining some established material. Adult beetle jelly or fruit is not a substitute for larval food. Confirm the substrate recipe and any supplemental food with our team.

Routine Care

Check substrate moisture and ventilation; keep it moist rather than waterlogged. Replenish food substrate before it is exhausted and leave a formed pupation chamber undisturbed.

Important Before Buying

Confirm the supplied animal’s current size and feeding routine, and have its enclosure ready before collection.

Live Animals Are Click & Collect Only

We do not ship live animals. Order online and wait for confirmation that your animal is ready before collecting from Newlands Home and Garden Centre, Clondalkin, Dublin 22. Have the enclosure prepared and its conditions checked before collection.
