Nice..

This ones in pre-pupa, think it's a female.......the bigger larvae are still eating like crazy!

I have two pairs of Hylus housed in a 35L breeding container. There seems to be a hell of alot of intimacy going on so I hope this will lead to eggs. I already bred these and have quite a few larvae that are now fast approaching L3. I house the larvae communally, with 5 or 6 in a 9L container...

Just letting his wings dry and his head straighten out. A true miracle of nature.

Almost....

IMO that pupa is of the xylotrupes family. The more i look at it the more im sure. They too have the habit of pupating on the surface, I have several in this state at the moment. I buy flourists foam, soak it in warm water and shape a cell from it using a spoon. The cell should be slightly...

My first one in pupa, I bred these.

A nice male, in his cell, one of 19 that I have bred from a pair. Looking forward to the next generation.

Well, here is the first of my M Harrisi to emerge. She needs a little time to mature but I reckon she's going to be a very nice adult. Here's the question ; I housed them all (10) communally and didn't have a single case of cannibalism. Would anyone like to explain this. I wrote about this on...

eggs

I've bred a few gens of these now. great beetles. This is the latest pile of eggs , the female was from Taiwan and was meant to be a blue strain, but as you can see she hatched orange! But i've put her to one of my males anyway. Be interesting to see what colour the progeny will be.

I've been lucky and have bred these and harvested 28 larvae , these have been housed seperately and I will observe their growth......I'm looking forward to trying a second generation of this beetle.

More pics....

Here's a couple of pics of the D Alcides I've bred , they're just darkening nicely, matureing up and I hope to breed the second generation of these. the male is only a minor, but I'm not too bothered about that.

I got a pair shipped in early October. I housed them in a 19 litre tub and fed them on jelly with protein added. fast forward a few months and I've had a probe into the topmost log and found five larvae. I have housed these seperately in jars to monitor their progress, the rest i have left...

I have d alcides d sika titanus sumatra pros blanchardi pros inclinatus pros fabricei hexarthrius mandibularis I use shredded wood, white oak/beech in jam jars.......as in photo. It is in a good state to add an additive to you see......

This is my first attempt at breeding these......I have 22 larvae

I've been breeding these for a while now, onto the 3rd gen of adults. A nice beetle, small with a quick life cycle....
