I've gotten my hands on a wild caught dorcus mirabilis female.
I've searched online and noticed there was little to no information about dorcus mirabilis breeding/care online, so ive decided I'll write what ive learnt so far and add more information as to what i did if eggs are laid.
Currently i have a plastic shoe box from daiso with 5 litres of susbtrate,medium hardness rotten white wood (that ive collected outside), jelly and spaghnum moss. Keeping the temps at 20-27C° but they are very resilient and can withstand 28-30C° aswell!!
(Susbtrate should be moist but not too moist like other beetle lmao)
(Some of the pics are taken from google like the box[i chose a diffrent box from the photo its just a tad longer])
