Pachnoda marginata - where to buy in USA?

[Cap10Squirty]

I've been searching around online but cannot seem to find anyone selling the Pachnoda marginata beetles here in the USA. I've seen quite a few UK dealers, but non stateside. Anyone have experience with these beetles? I am interested in raising these as feeders (specifically the grubs) for my frog.

Any advice is appreciated!

You may not be able to. Different countries have different laws on whats allowed. For example I buy pachnoda every week because they're very common here but we cant get any hornworms here and I see lots of US videos and breeders of hornworms.

That may be why I'm not seeing any here. I do have hornworms however ;P

What other insects do you feed your frog? I'm looking to add an extra item of prey to my frog's diet. Currently using madagascar hissing roaches, dubia roaches, hornworms, nightcrawlers, wax worms, and superworms.

It's illegal in the states to own/import a non native beetle. Guy on another forum I'm on tried with I forget what species and had department of agriculture knocking on his door, luckily for him the beetle larva was DOA or he could have faced hefty fines

I'm not interested in smuggling any beetles across international waters!

Anyone have any other recommendations?
