Dynastes Moderator Staff member Feb 2, 2011 #3 There are a few covers for that book. The one with the Megasoma?
I Ignaz L1 Feb 2, 2011 #4 Megasoma actaeon is the winner. I'm so upset now I bought this beek for US beetles not to be teased. It's not even that attractive and I was unaware of the size I just liked the horn. Are there any native beetles with this style of horn structure?

I Ignaz L1 Feb 5, 2011 #6 You might be correct. It does not change the fact that I can't get one. I would be interested in native beetles with this type of horn structure.

Dynastes Moderator Staff member Feb 6, 2011 #7 We have Megasoma vogti in the US but chances of acquiring livestock are as near to zero as possible.
I Ignaz L1 Feb 6, 2011 #8 I know a few people in Brownsville TX. I'll have to see if they can do some hunting for me.
