What Will You Hatch? Only the Cocoon Knows.
 
Product Overview
A single, chunky beetle grub from my mixed breeding bins — species unknown, destiny uncertain, vibes immaculate.
 
All mystery grubs in this pot grow into flower‑beetle‑sized adults (approx. 3–5 cm), including Pachnoda fruit beetles, which are sometimes sold as feeders but honestly? They’re gorgeous, friendly, and make brilliant display beetles.
 
This pot is perfect for keepers who enjoy a little gamble, a little chaos, and the joy of watching a cocoon crack open to reveal your new shiny friend.
