GeneralZero Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks Orin for the information I saw a lot of click beetle near the larvae so I believe it may have been! And thanks Lucanus I will update this with any finds if I find any larvae or beeltes! And Ryan I live in Statesville, NC roughly 50-ish minutes from Charlotte NC and about an hour and a half to two hours from upper SC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralZero Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Oh nice yeah I'm not into that part of my hobby (yet) for now just beetles haha perhaps we can plan a meet up some time? I am going to the Asheville mountains this summer with my two friends and probably going to do a lot of hunting while I am up there for both suitable substrate and different beetles.

a.ojala Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Hey what specie of click beetle did you find around there? Are there any giant click's around you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 Not sure, to be honest the only ones I like thus far are Lucanus and Dynastes mainly Dynastes, but I read in a book there were a few species around here i found one that had an eye looking pattern on it's back like a month ago and the ones earlier this week were small black ones.

I'd love to... we could easily find some Platycerus in this area you know . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 I'd love to... we could easily find some Platycerus in this area you know . AWESOME sounds fun! I really wish to find more dynastes in the wild. This searching is frustrating! I believe it's because I haven't searched big enough woods. Tomorrow will be my 3rd attempt.

hardshell Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 my area doesnt have any rhino beetles... just rugose and oregon stag beetle and cerechus.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted February 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 my area doesnt have any rhino beetles... just rugose and oregon stag beetle and cerechus.... Not even any Granti? Or are those solely in AZ and CA? WA probably gets very cold up there doesn't? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.ojala Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Where in Ca can you find Granti? I have been living in ca my entire life and I have never seen a single one, lol. I would love to go collecting Granti myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Not sure haha I've read certain posts in other forums and one contact I used to speak to sold Granti at the time the price was and still is to me ridiculous ($100 per pair). He told me he collected in southern CA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.ojala Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Lol, 100$ for a D.Granti pair??? The male should have been at least 5 inches for that price. I wish I knew a location to go collecting in the spring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted February 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 Yeah again ridiculous I'm glad I did not purchase them. I almost did before I read and acquired more knowledge on base prices for pairs and on how they are native species etc. I'm in the same boat with the whole tityus ordeal thus far haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tert100 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 I found a lot of those larvae just siting under a log. Ikept them in some rotten wood and they basically turned into a red version of a darkling beetle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralZero Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Ah interesting I did see a redish tint looking click beetle near there several in fact went back again and found more laying near the tree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
