guys, i promised to post a pic of the spider variety that i fed to my aro but the spideys just went out of season. but just recently, june beetles have been swarming around our area. its one of the perks living in a tropical country, lots of seasonal critters! these beetles come out during mid may to the first weeks of july. my green aro gobbles up about 8 in a day, i feed him 4 times a day with a couple of these bugs. i usually do this every year, have been feeding my jardini with these beetles and he loves them too. i get the local kids to do the dirty work of collecting them, bribing them with a couple of candy bars for about 50 beetles. you can find them swarming mostly on mango trees(feeding on the leaves), shake a few branches and they fall down like hale. i dont usually stock a lot coz they dont do well in captivity and would only last about 3-4 days in the small aquarium where i keep them until feeding. here are some pics......
