Greatwun Posted May 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I've been looking for D. tityus since last year but no luck. However I have found Strategus species near where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatwun Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I currently have one live female Antaeus waiting to see if she lays eggs. I also have 4 eggs from an S. splendens that were laid 2 weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
