Keeping dung beetles in captivity

Community and ForumInsects biology and faunisticsKeeping dung beetles in captivity

Good day to all!
I bought it on the occasion of humus and found excellent larvae in it (see the picture). Since childhood, I dreamed of growing a butterfly out of caterpillars, kept them in jars, fed them, watered them, collected pupae - but nothing ever happened. Maybe at least the dung beetle can be removed...
As far as I understand, these larvae will hatch green dung beetles. I planted the larvae in a jar of earth. And what should I do next - put it in the refrigerator or just put it under the bed?picture: 1328277194_bc5dff8c56c1.jpg
