Can I help him?

Any idea what I can do for this little guy? I found him outside at work (not the same one from my last post, this one has bigger horns), and he's in a rough shape. His two hing legs are missing, he's missing an appendage of his front leg, and it looks like his wing is crippled. Not sure if he'll make it out there :(

For whatever reasons my beetle enjoys to eat like this:

He purposely lands in that position, I don't know why, but it's quite funny.

Eastern Eyed Click Beetle taking flight

For some reason, this guy insisted on crawling on me before I convinced him to go elsewhere.

Made a friend

I found an Ox Beetle at work! He's so active and playful. I almost wish I could keep him

Question

This might be a weird question because it’s very specific. But for context I’m going to Japan this summer from California and i’m really looking forward to checking out some beetle shops. I was wondering if the “TSA” in Japan would allow me to bring Beetle Larvae back to california?

ID?

Size) about an inch

Color) golden browns

Wings) yes, yellowish white colored

Found) on ground on sidewalk.

Location) upper Michigan. It has just started to get warm and the grass is just starting to grow. It was about 70 degrees today.

Temperate) super chill, tried to stick onto the sidewalk when I tried to pick them up. They proceeded to vibrate and I could feel it on my hand! It was amazing!

Found at night. Must be nocturnal as they are never out during the day.

Found in an urban setting.

Any ID? Sorry for bad photos. I had to use flash (sorry beetle) since it was dark.

Such a cute goober!

Surprise guest morio beetle!

This guy just appeared today in my pacman frog's enclosure. He is climbing a philodendrons moss pole. So i'm guessing my frog didn't eat all of the superworms that I gave him a few months ago. I know that high humidty environment is not their preference but not sure what would be a good habitat to make for him. Any suggestions? This is my first pet beetle and it is adorable!

Beetle jelly went bad?

As the title says, yesterday i opened up the enclosure and the jelly seemed to be growing little white hairs?! I assumed it was mold and threw it away... but it had only been like, a week? aren't they supposed to last longer? Thank you!

Empty 25 gal terrarium, beetle newbie

I recently relocated my leopard gecko from a 25 to a 50 gallon and now I have an empty 25 that needs filled! I love insects and I have Madagascar hissing roaches but I have not yet had beetles. I would love to have a flower scarab or a Hercules beetle but I am unsure of if 25 is enough, what kind of setup I should have, and if I should have more than one beetle at a time.

The tank is front opening and is 30x12x16
