Greatwun Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 I dont find these too often. This one is quite small and no horns so its probably a female. Hopefully she will lay some eggs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatwun Posted May 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks! Most I find by accident while in the process of looking for another species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Minard Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Phileurus valgus actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 I'm with Ryan. Phileurus truncatus has two large horns sticking out of its head (even female has them) while P. valgus lacks these horns. Hope the specimen in the picture is a mated female I used to keep these guys and I enjoyed them (Unfortunately, I failed to breed the second generation because I gave most of them away to my friend and he failed to breed them ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatwun Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 You guys are right! I actually found some Phileurus truncatus the other day and they are very different as far as size and horns. Look at the topic above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
