Pasimachus depressus (?)

[Lucanus]

Found this girl under a log at Wilson elementary school in Montgomery, AL.

Some Pasimachus species are kind of hard for me to separate, especially the blue margined variety. However, I've seen Eric R. Eaton separate them out before on BugGuide.

You might try emailing him the photos. His email address is: bugeric24(at)yahoo(dot)com

The margin is stunning! Nice find.

I'll contact him if the Auburn University can't figure about the species.

Will these eat dog food? I might be getting these soon and I was wondering if they eat dog food.

Sorry, I meant cat food.

 

[manticora]

they will eat it,but you will have to moisten the food alittle,since they like softbody insects,i give mine mealworms,superworms,crickets
