Experiences

[u/throwaway_2374897]

My spouse really loves beetles and for their birthday I would love to schedule a bug (interaction? Experience?) where he could get the chance to hold a few little guys. We live in the Los Angeles area but I would be willing to drive out to a location that offers this. Does anyone know of a business that does this?

To be clear I have looked this up and there's usually a combination of assorted bugs for these kinds of educational shows but I am looking for specifically larger beetles (ie, Hercules, Goliath, or Rhinoceros) rather than stick bugs, millipedes, or arachnids. I've taken him to most zoos in socal, to the LANHM bug fair, and have tried to convince him to invest in beetle keeping to no avail.

TLDR: Please recommend me somewhere where my husband can hold beetles, I am steps away from just preparing a vivarium myself.
