Larvae and set up

The larvae are Allomyrina dichotoma (kobuto mushi). My son and I found them in a park near our house. I kind of feel bad taking so many, but they were so easy to find it was hard to stop. I plan on keeping some imagoes and breeding, the rest I plan on giving away to my children's friends as long as their parents are ok with it and understand how to take care of them.

 
WOW that is truly amazing!! Reminds me of when I go hunting for Phileurus truncatus. Good luck with the larvae!

I agree. That was just a old cooler I had in the car that I used temporary to transport home. I split them up into the two tubs you see in the second picture

Very cool! I wish I was able to go out and find larvae like that! I can usually find cucujid and elaterid larvae, but that's been about it so far.
