Titanus Posted March 13, 2013 Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 They've finally started to emerge! 5 have successfully eclosed thus far (still have 16 pupae left). They have been raised on a 100% maple based substrate (70% leaves, 30% wood) and are all in excellent health (figured you'd want to know Orin!). They spend all their time either munching on beetle jelly/mangoes/bananas or flying noisily around the breeding arena. They look like little blue gems don't they?!

Chuck4th Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Are you able to identify the sex of them? Just wondering if it is males emerging early. Thanks, they sure are pretty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
