Dcpac Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 Set this up in my living room. Sooner or later my wife will stop complaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted May 3, 2014 Report Share Posted May 3, 2014 So many larvae! What species? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcpac Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 The larvae are Allomyrina dichotoma (kobuto mushi). My son and I found them in a park near our house. I kind of feel bad taking so many, but they were so easy to find it was hard to stop. I plan on keeping some imagoes and breeding, the rest I plan on giving away to my children's friends as long as their parents are ok with it and understand how to take care of them.

Greatwun Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 WOW that is truly amazing!! Reminds me of when I go hunting for Phileurus truncatus. Good luck with the larvae! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Posted May 4, 2014 Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I think thats a bit too crowded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcpac Posted May 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2014 I think thats a bit too crowded I agree. That was just a old cooler I had in the car that I used temporary to transport home. I split them up into the two tubs you see in the second picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pannaking22 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Very cool! I wish I was able to go out and find larvae like that! I can usually find cucujid and elaterid larvae, but that's been about it so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
