How do you care for these? I had a few and all died, they had good substrate, moisture and air holes in their cup. I heard not much is known on them.

They are actually quite easy, i do rear them on white rotten wood substrate (very soft already). They do grow well, but the pupation time is tricky, you might want to try offering them bigger and harder pieces of wood, as well as some clay at the bottom of the container.

Here is a breeding report: http://www.beetlebreeding.ch/chrysina-beyeri-breeding-report/

Do you sell the substrate as well? I've not had luck with these larvae either and I suspect it's because my sub was not quite what they wanted.

I can add some wood substrate that i am using.
