Hi from Connecticut

Hi Alex,

Welcome! It is possible to rear that species though getting eggs isn't always easy. Isn't it capreolus?

Hi Alex,

Do you have stock of this beetle already?

Welcome!
no, I have a preserved male I found dead a while ago, funny how old ones' legs fall off, I know larvae live in rotting wood, which is abundant in the woods behind my house, how far into, oh say, a rotting log, do I need to cut to find larvae, in the core of it, or just peeling bark? I have an ax, pitchfork, shovel, and my grandfather has a pickax I could use to open logs and find larvae. how do I tell male acrosternum hilare from females? I have a nymph at the moment, my adult died from a maggot.
