April Tarantula sale! - 20% off all tarantulas on my "tarantulas" page. This is my largest discount ever!


Just enter the code April25 when ordering.

If you place an order without the code you will be charged full price (I cannot give the discount once payment has been taken).

I need to clear stocks and get down to a level where I can carry out a comprehensive stock take of all my spiders. 


Common Name: Bean Weevil
Scientific Name: Callosobruchus maculatus

Size: Mixed (may be egg, larva or fully adult stage)
Status: Captive Bred

Food: Dried black eyed beans


Housing: I keep the weevils in a plastic jar with about 3cm of black eyed beans in the bottom. I then put a piece of fine net (net curtain) over the jar and secure with an elastic band. The weevils generally take about 6-8 weeks from egg to adult, I make up a new colony every month or so.

A great alternative to fruit flies and micro crickets, these tiny beetles (approx. 2-3mm) are very easy to keep and breed, they feed on Black Eyed beans (these dried beans can be purchased from any supermarket). The adults can fly.
