Hello!
I am a university student that is currently working on an ongoing research project on arthropod associations with cholla cactus. We have been focusing mostly on cactus longhorn beetles, specifically Moneilema, and are currently trying to set up a rearing protocol for lab culture purposes. If anyone has any experience with breeding longhorn beetles successfully, I'd love to hear about how it was conducted and the set up, with specifics on substrate choice, humidity and temperature levels, container set ups, etc.! We are currently looking into M. appressum and M. annulatum, but any information on Moneilema in general would be helpful and appreciated
