Hi all, I am wondering if anyone else has had big black beatles in there house besides me? Are they morphing from the worms or crickets? Or are they coming in from outside? help me please lol they are really big ones......

well im not sure where you live but JUNE BUG season just started around here. they are big blackish dark brown beetles. normally the beetles from mealworms dont get very big. june bugs are about the size of a piece of popcorn and mealworm beetles are a little bigger then sunflower seeds. the june bugs would be from outside

i am in california, in the valley,,,,,,i guess they could be june bugs... i know they are not couck roches... how ever u spell that lol

ya i live in southern cali and im starting to see june bugs, i bet thats what they are

I have beetles in my basement that look like this
Pretty sure they are just wild.

The actual "june bug" is a thumb nail sized brown beetle, rarely have I ever seen them black.

Do you have superworms or mealworms? Supers morph out into the Darkling Beetle (the big black ones you see around here while hiking) and mealworm beetles aren't always small. It depends how big the mealworm was who morphed.

Darkling beetles, morphed from superworms, smell like Band Aids. Do you have a picture?
