Beetle Breeding Books (in English)

[Acro]

There are not many, and they are hard to find but . . .

I have all the Invertebrates Magazines (yes, from the first issue) (sorry, had to brag).

Then I got The Ultimate Guide to Breeding Beetles, Coleoptera Laboratory Culture Methods.

Recently I acquired For the Love of Rhinoceros and Stag Beetles Second Edition.

Just tonight, I discovered (and bought) the Professional Breeders Series: Giant Beetles Of The Genera Dynastes And Megasoma by Alexander Weigelt!

Has anyone read this? There are 3 currently available on ebay if you're interested.

I'm excited to have found this! My collection may be small, but it is mighty!

thats all the ones i have......theres still a huge gap in the market for a series of books going into great detail on the breeding of each individual beetle species. With lots of colour pics and detailed graphs for that species.

I have the same books expect for Professional breeder series, I did not see it on eBay, but found it at abebooks.com.

Thanks for letting me know about this book

I always like having books. And it's good to see the thoughts of different writers, I feel it gives a more complete understanding. Hopefully more of us will get to writing books, or at least adding articles to Invertebrates Magazine.

It's always good spreading info!

For those interested in this book, here is the link to the place Dcpac's talking about (they have 8 available!):

And here is the link to the last one on ebay, it's the same seller I ordered mine from:
