Hi,

Just wondering if anyone knew how to tell if a Lucanus capreolus is gravid/pregnant.

I just want to make sure my two females are indeed going to produce some larva. And so I know if I need to throw them in with some males again

lol, she won't get off my finger...

 
Well...I've noticed that they eat a lot before they burrow under the substrate and lay eggs.

Good luck with them

They have been digging a bit. I don't know if they have been eating more or not (I give them apples, and it seems more like they suck the juice out of it. And I don't pay attention to it

I hope I get pleny babies

It would be nice to have some captive bred capreolus
