Anyone watch the beetle special on National geographic channel?showed how they fought them,etc in Thailand.It was fascinating.
If you did see it i wanted the bright red beetle to win to bad it didnt.Great show tho with great shots.

It was a very good show. It shows how humans can respect some insects for temporary entertainment and have consideration for the ecological balance needed to preserve these Hercules (Kwang)beetles.

Glad someone saw it heehee.I thought I was only one.It was fascinating the country looked great,nice people,etc and ofcourse I loved that part of the culture around the beetles.
I dont own beetles just a tarantula though I have been looking into them but so little info available on the as far as care goes.
