Lucanus Posted May 10, 2014 Report Share Posted May 10, 2014 I think it's actually Tarpela micans since it has metallic color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amici Con Coleotteri Posted May 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I think it's actually Tarpela micans since it has metallic color I'm so bad when it comes to IDs! Arg! And yes they have a gorgeous metallic rainbow sheen that I just couldn't get to show in the picture. yeah it is! these are hard to find! how many did you catch? Really?! I got 3, but pretty sure I had seen a couple more where I got them but I was all excited and kept losing focus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hopefully you caught at least one male and one female. Good luck breeding them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
