Default Bean weevil cultures

As it says.

Ideal for fish, frogs, toads, small geckos, and small / young mantis, spiders, scorps etc.

Very easy to breed. Just add some beans and adults from the old culture to a handfull of black eyed beans, and place somewhere warm (I put mine by an aquarium starter unit). With in a week, the pot will be exploding with weevils.
Just split the culture again, and add more beans! I have four constantly rotating, 2 being used for food, after a week I give them a rest period, new beans, and use the other 2.

Never buy food again!!

You will recieve a culture with loads of new / fresh beans, and a handfull of old beans (covered in eggs) and adults.

What eats them??

I feed them to my dwarf scorps, fire belly toads, mantis nymphs, dart frogs, oh and fly traps & pitcher plants!

£2.50 culture, £1.50 p&p... or will swap for vivarium plants or bugs!

You feed the actual weevil / beetle. The larve / grub is inside the bean, and dont know how you would extract. The adults are approx 3-4mm.
