How to get the eggs of Calosoma?

[Lucanus]

Has anyone had sucess with getting eggs from this genus? I've tried sand, coco fiber, and clay but all of them didn't work for me

So does anyone tell me how to get the eggs from this genus please?

i find plenty of slug eaters larvae under rotten logs and under barks. u should maybe try that...

 

[Lucanus]

I've never seen any Calosoma larvae under rotten logs so collecting them through this method doesn't seem to be ideal for my state. But I guess I can try putting a log in cage

 

[Dynastes]

In nature they lay the eggs in the dirt under loose bark on rotten logs so you'd want some moist dirt and possibly some isopods or other inverts. I've reared them before but I didn't get very many eggs and ended up with two adult beetles. The cage had some very small logs and a bunch of isopods.

Thank you for the tip

I'll try this method when I collect some Calosomas next year
