It doesn't take months to get beetles... get one of those bead organizers (small containers with lids), melt a small air hole in each compartment, put in a fat superworm with a pinch of food, and put it in a dark warm place for a couple weeks, and you'll have pupae. Another couple weeks you'll have beetles. I finally found the secret to getting my superworm eggs to hatch... heat. Once I moved it to the heating pad I have many baby superworms.

Haven't seen any place to get the beetles themselves, sorry. Best bet is to buy a big batch of superworms, pick the biggest to pupate and feed from the rest until you have a new generation to feed from, and start the process again.
