Beetles in the Burning Steppes roll magma into tiny balls and eat them once they cool off.
After trying all the suggestions for a long time with no luck, I started pathing around blackrock mountain steppes side. Found a pool with 4 in it at exactly 30/30 doesn't even show as lava on the map. GL
Found a rare.....It then at 30 health...killed itself with its own attack...Yay Ill have to find another =('''
Dreadmaul Rock is covered with them.
This beetle is sightly larger than other pet beetles.
The Lava beetle can be found to the west of the path coming from Redridge mountains. I saw about 4 in one spot, between the two mountains (the line of mountains in the south, and the lone mountain just above it, near path to redridge). Had 3 pets with it, fairly easy to catch. Just don't get mistaken between lava and fire beetle like I did.
Fantastic tip to check 59,72 in Burning Steppes because on the map it doesn't even look like there is lava there, but it's up there!
EDIT: Seemingly slow respawn timer in that spot! Cleared out that area + made a trip around the zone to check for more. When I returned none had respawned yet. Rinse and repeat for an hour and still no respawns at the 59, 72 spot.
Found this pet right where the two commentors suggested, at 59, 72. Seems to be a plentiful spot!
The post below is right, 59 72, has the goods! I recommend downloading Tomtom , and just type /way 59 72 , it will take you right to the spot! First time I went there, there was 4 Beetle spawns. :D
I found a great spawn point out of the 'way' its south in the zone at area 59, 72, high in the mountains, you can see a 'lava' trail going up, once you are up there you have a HUGE lava pool and I found 4 spawns of the Lava Bettle. (really is a out of the way spot that most people wouldn't see!
If you look at your map you are to the "right' of the road in the mountains if you took the path to Redridge Mountains.
You will find these where ever you see molten rock pits and lava flows, along with the Lava Crab. More details on the Lava Crab entry.
Lots of these spawn around Dreadmaul Rock.
