Hemiphileurus illatus

Got eggs

That's what I thought. Phileurini has some interesting similarities with Oryctini

"and got more eggs" was intended for that purpose. lol

Awesome stuff! Hope they all pupate successfully and you get a bunch of adults!

Thank you

Can't wait to see the pupae of this species

 

[pannaking22]

They'll be an interesting bunch, I'm sure

 

[Lucanus]

My male is still alive. lol

 

[Lucanus]

Finally got some pupae!!!!! About 80% of my larvae have built pupal cells so I'm hoping to see some adults soon
