How to sex Phileurus truncatus?


Lucanus

Recommended Posts

Alan, is there any way to sex the Larvae? Ive been looking at photos from Dynastes larvae. I can see some some with the opening, some without an opening and others that are difficult to tell because the body has too much fat. On the ones with an opening it almost looks like a tiny V shape. I would post some images but my cheap camera cannot take a good close up picture.

I actually don't know how to sex the larvae of these guys but I assume they can be sexed in same manners as most Dynastids by looking at the herold's organ.
