Phileurus valgus

They were doing great in kinshi, I wish that I had not run out, because as soon as I had to ween them back to oak, they started slowing down and shrinking like when I found them and that was months ago! They still have not pupated. I should have kinshi soon to experiment with, it was oyster mushroom kinshi. It was like steroids for them.

I need to learn how to use my tree climbing equipment or follow a tree cutting service around.

 
Found some larvae in the enclosure today

I started seeing several larvae in the enclosure where the parents are kept so I decided to search through the substrate to find this many larvae :

Nice!

Last week, I was in the process of recycling some old breeding substrate when I was surprised by two D. tityus larvae that I must have missed when I was looking for eggs last year. Always cool to find extras!

Cheers

That's nice! Wish that kind of thing happened often to me. LOL

 
Congrats! Yesterday I found many adults in a small patch of woods. They were still in their pupal cells and some had that reddish color which must mean they are freshly emerged. I placed them all back inside the tree I found them.
