Lucanus Posted March 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 2 of the 4 nymphs are gone. I'm down to 2 now. Those 2 seem to love B. germanica nymphs I provided so I'm hoping they'll make it to 2nd instal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucanus Posted March 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 PS. These guys produce weird odor that doesn't smell too bad (at least to me) when disturbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatwun Posted March 29, 2014 Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Nice photos. What kind of trees do you find these in? I find most of them under loose pine bark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Nice photos. What kind of trees do you find these in? I find most of them under loose pine bark. Thank you I've collected mine under loose barks of live oak, white oak (I think), hickory, and pines Seems that they prefer large still standing trees with hard, smooth barks in dry condition.

I have 2 P. rhadamanthus that I'd like to breed, but down the road I definitely want more natives. Thank you I've heard that Platymeris can breed through parthenogenesis so hopefully you'll be able to breed them I've seen an ad on arachnoboards selling various assassins from FL. Perhaps you can contact that person to get more natives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
