Skip the slow start. This starter batch of buffalo beetles (Alphitobius diaperinus) gives you a bigger founding population than a standard order, so your colony reaches a self-sustaining size faster than starting from just a few beetles.

Buffalo beetles are easy to house, low maintenance, and double as a cleanup crew if you choose to run them alongside a dubia colony or bioactive enclosure. Once established, the colony keeps producing on its own.

  • Larger founding population for a faster start
  • Low maintenance and easy to house
  • Can double as a cleanup crew alongside other colonies
  • Ships in breathable, insulated packaging
