Amici Con Coleotteri Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Did some hunting outside Highpoint and found some real cool stuff...IDs would help a bunch lol. This little fella was just chilling on a trail, is it a dungie? Some sort of fungus eater, maybe in the darkling family. Found 3 under loose bark, but only managed to get 2. They are very flat and kind of oval shaped. Couldn't get a good shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucanus Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 First one looks like a beetle in genus Canthon. Second one is Penthe pimelia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazr80 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Cool. I've got to do some my searching out by me. All I'm finding are tenebrionids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hisserdude Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Me too! It is the only type of beetle I have had much success breeding, and I live in a desert region, so I can find lots of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailblazr80 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 What kinds do you find? I'm a huge fan of tenebrionids! All kinds of eleodes, asbolus, nyctoporus carinatas, diabolicals. I need to explore the higher elevations out here to see what I can find, see if I can find some ground beetles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I get loads of ground beetles here, and I'm always open to trade, especially for tenes! (I like and don't have the N. carinatas too ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amici Con Coleotteri Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 What kind of ground beetles you interested in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 I have a variety of ground beetles around me too, mainly harpalus affinus, and pterostichus. And I will (hopefully) be open to trades in a few weeks. (hint hint.) is it easy to breed the N.carinatas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to make some more room for my growing collection! I'm hiking tonight and will check for carinatas. They seem to be easy to breed. I had mine for what seemed like less than a month and already found larvae! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hisserdude Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 The harpalus affinus seem to live a while, at least 6 months i would say. Then again they are wild caught so i have no idea how long they have left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
