Hi,

I recently ordered a bunch of beetles (45 specimens plus a few pairs) off Yves-Pascal from Entomopro. It is the third order I have made with him, the first two went smoothly.

His site says shipping can take up to 3 weeks, I just received my order today after about 1 month. Communication during that month was easy and clear via email and he informed me 2 of the chrysochroa species I had purchased weren't available and offered to replace them with whatever i wanted.

The beetles were exceptional quality and packaged very thoughtfully. the replacement specimen is of significantly higher value (it was his suggestion not my choice) than the two chrysochroa he didn't have and a species i have been looking for for a while

. I highly recommend this seller. 10/10

I have read those posts, AFTER I made my order and I was worried about the outcome of my transaction.

The fact fact is though, he pulled through and i'm satisfied with my order. To date, a pretty large portion of my beetle collection has come from him! For what its worth, I'm also from Canada.

Cheers,

R~

Those negative reports thanos mentioned + the fact it took one month to be delivered inside the same country (Canada) - all indicates he is not reliable.
There are many beetles on his website I'd like to get and can't find anywhere else, they are mostly expensive and I'm not going to risk my money.

do so at your own peril.

Unfortunately like nosorog. There are also many listed specimens I would like to get from entomopro, but they are quite expensive so the risk is just too high. I will just have to wait to find them elsewhere.

There are just too many reports of fraudulent activity surrounding entomopro...

It seems therefore that a taste for collecting beetles is some indication of future success in life!--Charles Darwin
