Dynastes hyllus, originating from Mexico, distinguishes itself from the Eastern hercules beetle with its notably longer horns and lack of long dormancy periods. Their yellow coloration and long horns make them a popular beetle species amongst hobbyists.

Primarily feeds on rotten hardwood or flake soil.

Beetle larvae go through 3 different larval phases: L1, L2, and L3. After the L3 stage, the larva pupates to turn into an adult beetle!

Difficulty level: Beginner

THIS SPECIES IS NATIVE TO THE EASTERN U.S. BUT DO NOT RELEASE THEM IF THEY ARE NOT FOUND IN YOUR AREA.
