hardshell Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 i heard this from somewhere but i dont remember when... so when your female stag beetle or rhino beetles has died after mating and layed some eggs but some are still inside of her belly, you can gently cut the belly and get out the eggs. is this true??? or false information? do the eggs from her belly hatch? to me it sound pretty logical because if she lsyed some eggs it means she probably didnt had any time to lay the rest...

Dynastes Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I tried it a number of times. The reason they never develop is they're infertile until laid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Minard Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I tried it a number of times. The reason they never develop is they're infertile until laid. The female probably does something to the eggs before she lays them... either she actually puts something in them (so that they are actually fertile) or she puts a protective layer on them. That's my guess... Either way, they won't hatch. I'm pretty sure this is 100%. This idea might work on some animals but not beetles, I'd say.
