Trox

[Dynastes]

These are very interesting beetles with predatory larvae that used to be part of the scarab group.

Are you breeding this species?

awesome!

How large are they???

Do you breed trox? I forget what species it is... but a type of flower scarab larva is eaten by this species. Do you know which one? I believe it was in your book somewhere. Anyways... nice beetle! It seems fitting that they are no longer considered scarabs.

Matt, I've reared them before, I probably mentioned it in the flower beetle booklet.

ojala, They are a little smaller than Cotinis but the eggs are almost as big as Dynastes tityus

Thanks for the info. Do you have any tips on collecting them (E inda and Trox both). I've found many E inda adults but not any larvae.
